In October of 1995, we (Maine Medical Center) had 200 deliveries.   Of those,  150 mothers 
planned to breastfeed. 75% 

3, 6, & 12 months out we phoned those moms who were still breastfeeding.  This past 
October our 12 month data collection was completed and is now being analized.

Today I heard that Brigham and Womans Hospital in MA has an 88% breastfeeding rate.  Is 
there anyone out there who can confirm this  fantastic figure?  I also want to ask what they 
are doing to get it that high.

Thanks,

Veronica Carter
