i worked at a city hospital in east New orleans. it was largely african 
american moms and many medicaid recipients (low income/government health 
care). don't know the percentages of these categories. i calculated bf rates 
each month. we had about 120-140 deliveries per month and our bf rates were 
about 46-50 percent over the last 3 years. too bad i don't have access to 
those records - all flooded.
