Solution

The correct statement about breastfeeding is: "About 80% of mothers in the United States now breast-feed their infants, at least in early infancy." This is based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which shows that approximately 83% of infants born in the United States in 2015 started to breastfeed. However, it's important to note that this percentage decreases as the child grows older.
