Ecologist breastfeedign article

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).
