I would like to know your rate of breastfeeding initiation, c/section rate, and % of moms delivering vaginally with vs. without epidurals. (I'm in Spokane, Washington state; our breastfeeding initiation rate is good, around 80-85%, but the rate at 6 months is much less. Our C/section rate is close to the national average of 20%. Our epidural rate is over 80%.) Thanks to all who respond - I appreciate it!
