Pardon me if this is a stupid question, but are you saying 10 percent of the
BREASTFED baby population?
Or the baby population overall?  My LLL Breastfeeding Answer Book quotes
something much higher, like a rate of nipple confusion somewhere
around 95% for all breastfed babies given bottles or pacifiers.  (I'm not
sure exactly on the percentage, but I could check if anyone wants
to know exactly what it reads).

Just wondering, in a confused way, as usual. ;>
