There is some good data to show the effectiveness of the peer counselor
program in WIC.  Check out the Texas Dept. of Health page:
http://www.tdh.state.tx.us/lactate/peer.htm
There is a link to some charts and graphs that may help.

We've seen a dramatic increase in the number of exclusively breastfed
babies, and an increase in duration.  It's not unusual now for WIC staff
to tell us they see toddlers nursing. :-D
