Hi Lara,

I would suggest that there is very little input from anyone with any 
breastfeeding knowledge on this nationally funded research.  It is 
concerning that when we have some very knowledgeable researchers and 
practitioners in Australia and New Zealand, there is no one on this project.

Also, the national and state guidelines on infant feeding all state 
breastfeed exclusively for 24-26 weeks and then gradually introduce 
solid foods.

One would have hoped that there was some better decision making in 
regards to infant nutrition and breastfeeding.
