In my private practice in Orlando, probably 90% of women breastfeed.

Wow! 90% That is excellent. Where the hell are we going wrong here? Artificial feeding rates here are higher than breastfeeding. Here (South Yorkshire) it seems to be the opposite of New Orleans where breastfeeding is for the middle classes!

I have nothing against breastfeeding an older child but I could not have breastfed a child that could ask for it in words. Eighteen months was my limit for others that might be too long too! Each to their own...

Thanks for that Ashley.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
