I would guess denominations providing that sort of information would be less likely to support NIP.

We always attend evangelical/charasmatic churches but I have a Catholic background and DH has a Baptist and Luthern background. I know I haven't heard anything like that at any of those churches.
Anyway, from reading all the responses I think it def depends on the region. Although I have to say that the biggest difference for me was that the rural midwest town I went to college in had the most bf I've ever seen. Every mother at my church breastfed.
