The Ecologist - Suck On This
good article. 100% breastfeeding rate goal is unrealistic (95% is more realistic - there is a very small minority of women who can't or really shouldn't breastfeed for physical medical reasons. Breast reductions being a big one, plus the whole question of whether HIV+ mothers should breastfeed or not. Common sense says "absolutely not" but it's not that cut-and-dried of an issue, especially in places where water quality is a problem).
