I am looking at the recent preview of the UK five-yearly infant feeding 
statistics  (http://www.ic.nhs.uk/pubs/breastfeed2005), because I have been 
asked to write something about them.  I believe I remember that in the USA 
for many years the only source of infant feeding stats was Ross = formula 
mfgr?  Is this correct?  But that now there is some more independent source? 
Can someone refresh my memory?  If there is a new source, how big is it and 
what kind of questions does it cover?  Our last stats (2000) were a 
gold-mine of info on all kinds of things, like how often women attend baby 
clinics as well as incidence and duration of bf by country/region/social 
class. 

Thanks, 

Magda Sachs, PhD.
