I came across something that may be of interest regarding US breastfeeding
data. The National Center for Health Statistics recently released data from
the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth on CD-ROM. It contains information
on factors related to pregnancy and childbearing, including breastfeeding. The
survey was conducted in 1995 with a sample of 10,847 women.

Have any of you used this material?

The Windows95 software that allows you to browse and export data can be
ordered by calling 301 436-8500 or by e-mail at [log in to unmask] You can run it
with the DOS-based software included on the CD but that is a pain. The CD
costs $15 and can be ordered through the Government Printing Office at 202
512-1800. The title is National Survey of Family Growth, Cycle 5, 1995; stock
number: 017-022-01387-8.
