Hi Liz
Have a look at the UK data.  It shows less than 10% EBF to six months.  The only prospective Australian data we have has EBF around 1% at six months.  Now here's where we have a problem.  Should we be measuring EBF *AT* or EBF *TO* six months?  Should we be concerned about EBF rates at six months when recommendation is to introduce solids (terminate EBF) at around six months.  Perhaps a better indicator would be EBF *AT* 5 months?  I actually think that EBF is not a good indicator at all.  It would be more useful to measure exposure to infant formula, water, animal milks and/or other foods prior to 6 completed months of life.
