The last century is a significant time period to define the dramatic changing pattern affecting the prevalence in breastfeeding decision in U.S. Starting from the onset of twentieth century it decreased to a significant level almost two thirds of the century and then again it rose to a certain level. Prior to twentieth century, more than 66% of mothers were engaged in breastfeeding practices with their babies, whereas the rate fell down to its lowest point during 1972 when only 22 women among 100 were actually engaged into breastfeeding. But the scenario got changed radically from 1975 when the breastfeeding rate began to increase once again and the trend continues throughout following decades with a considerable statistical changing ratio such as 60 among 100 mothers took interest and actually engaged in breastfeeding practices (Wright. 2001).
