The 2001 US breastfeeding rates from the National Immunization Survey (NIS) were published in Pediatrics. Here is the URL for the abstract: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/111/5/S1/1198 I do have a hard copy of the full text if you need more info than is in the abstract. I don't know if the 2002 NIS data have been published yet. The 2001 data were published in May 2003.
