"The latest CDC report found rates of breast-feeding were also lowest among women who are unmarried, poor, rural, younger than 20, and have a high school education or less."

I would think that percent would be higher....

I am glad it is up somewhere. In louisiana it is down between 10-20%

Aside from the benefits, and the fact that I WANTED to do it, I did it to save $$. Formula is insanely expensive!! I would think that low income would bf to save $$ too. But, I guess some of the low income would be eligible for free formula, so maybe that is a large factor in those numbers being down.
