Jeanette,

        I agree with Anne Altshuler's suggestion that you use Miriam
Labbock's definitions for breastfeeding categories. MDs in my area have
remarked that they don't see that much difference in health for some
Breastfed babies...well some babies aren't breastfed as much as they are
formula fed. AND maybe the health attributes of breastfeeding aren't *doled*
out by mom nature on a linear basis. 100% breastfed gets 100% of the
attributes. But does a 90% breastfed baby get 90% of the attributes of
breastfeeding? Probably not, IMO.

        Keeping the stats with *true* definitions would be truly advantageous.
