Hi all,

<< My understanding of the Ross Survey is that the numbers come from the
number
 ofBF gift packs given out at the hospital.  If that's the case, then I would
 like to know how they control for the mothers who take home more than one
 gift pack given out by the nurses at discharge.  Interesting concept??

They really do have  a survey, because along with the % of bf moms, they have
it broken down to WIC/NonWIC, length of time brfd from one week to 6 months,
etc.  And I think they query about 250,000 moms, if my memory serves me
right...which it doesn't always do....
