Its funny that the number 70% came up because at my community hospital , the breastfeeding rate has been 70% for August, 65% for September, and 70% for October. Our deliveries went from 40 deliveries in December of 1995 , before our remodling to 16 LDRP, to 140 this past August and 98 breastfeeding mothers. Charlene Shedd St Mary Hospital Livonia, Michigan
