    Rock on Utah! This is so interesting. When I went to the pediatrician today, he asked what formulas I used with Audrie (since Eli has a milk allergy...I guess). I told him she was exclusively breastfed through 6 months and never had formula (she HATED it when if we tried to give it to her when I went to the temple), he was also suprised that I breastfed her past one year. Long story.

    Go UT!!

    It's so sad to me that so few American babies get breastfed for 6 months, and even fewer for a year...

    Yes, Utah and Oregon came out well. I couldn't help noticing that a lot of southern states were on the low end. Wonder why, exactly.
