need current bfing stats

[Peony]

A local mom in my town that I know writes a parenting column twice a month, she wants to write one here soon on bfing. She asked me to help her find some current stats, I'm coming up with ones in 2003 and 2004, she wants more recent ones. Anyone have some links?

I hope your friend points out the difference between iniatiation rates & continuation rates. Families of newborns need help (medical & social) to continue bfing.
