don't know goddess. does anyone? there will be figures for intent, bf on leaving hospital (i was counted as one of them and i wasn't) and at 6 week check. then there are representative surveys which is probably what you need.

not entirely sure how this will help with support, becuase the figs aren't good. good luck.
