Miriam Labbok spoke at ILCA about UNICEF's position of "about 6 months"
instead of the 4-to-6 month phrase, and explained the reasons why 4-6 is not
as appropriate as "about 6 months."  USAID concurs with the "about 6 month"
phrasing in their monograph "Q/A on Infant feeding: A panel of Experts Takes
a New Look."  Certain companies are pressing for the 4-to-6 language for
reasons we can guess. If UNICEF and WHO disagree, who to listen to?  I'll
take an MD/IBCLC's statement over that of a linguist.
Linda Smith, looking at credentials and training too.
