uk breastfeeding stats
Was just having a little look at breastfeeding stats in the uk and came across this site (its stats from 2005 though). I've read somewhere that only about 25% of breastfed babies are still being :boob: at 6 month but thought it was shocking to find that....

:iconsad:"Overall, only 35 per cent of UK babies are being exclusively breastfed at one week, 21 per cent at six weeks, 7 per cent at four months and 3 per cent at five months."
