Well said, Marsha.  The Ross stats are *accurate* for what they measure:
ANY breastfeeding.  They are all we have.  I tried very hard to find stats
after 6 months in the US and there aren't any available....Remember,
these are the same stats the formula companies use to "prove" that mothers
who supplement with formula nurse longer....Like any research it all
depends on how you ask the questions.
