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!
