International Breastfeeding Journal: Introducing a new journal
Lisa H Amir 

International Breastfeeding Journal 2006, 1:1     doi:10.1186/1746-4358-1-1

Abstract (provisional)

International Breastfeeding Journal is a new open access peer-reviewed
journal with a multidisciplinary focus. The aim of International
Breastfeeding Journal is to contribute to understanding all aspects of
breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is recognized as an important public health
issue with enormous social and economic implications. In order to help women
breastfeed successfully there is a need to understand both the physiology of
lactation and the social and cultural context within which breastfeeding
occurs. International Breastfeeding Journal invites manuscripts from around
the world which address all of these aspects, including the impediments to
breastfeeding, the health effects of not breastfeeding for infants and their
mothers, and the management of breastfeeding problems.
