Hi, all: I need as many current statistics about breastfeeding rates from as many countries around the world as possible. Please include initiation rates as well as 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 month and beyond. Although I am most interested in the current rates, any comparison to previous decades would also be helpful. This may be of interest to enough Lactnetters to post to the list, but I'll gladly receive the info via private e-mail. TIA to our international contingent. Alicia, in New Jersey, USA.
