Cindy, do you mean overall numbers as presented in women who gave birth or
primary lactation inability? For the latter it has been my understanding that
only 5 or less per 1000 of women our not able to lactate for inborn reasons. But
ofcourse during live women can get all kinds of accidental or other injuries or
psyco-emotional blocks that make lactation impossible. My guess is that that
percentage may be rising.
