Jan,
Ithink if I read correctly, your birthing center had/has? a 95%
initiation rate of breastfeeding.  Although our birthing center has
tremendous continuation rates, our initiation rate falls about 80% -
85%.  I know this is still good, however would would you attribute this
high initiation rate to?  We have focused on helping those who want help,
yet see the need to potentially alter the initiation rate as well.
