# at last count 40% of one-year-olds in Oslo were being breastfed. #

... and I added that in Finland ab. 15 % of 1-year-olds are breastfed.

I forgot to mention, however, the Mid-Finland region, Jyvaskyla, where
the BFHI and mom-to-mom bf support groups flourish. 29 % of
1-year-olds are breastfed in Mid-Finland region. In that area the
figures of exclusive bfeeding and bfeeding after starting solids are
much higher than elsewhere in the country.
