After a fairly swift first glance these are interesting.  I have only looked 
at interpretation and counselling so far.  The charts in the training 
material are labelled using z-scores rather than centiles which on its own 
is going to be entertaining to explain.  I like some of the features in the 
second job aid.  However, it will be a huge culture shift for UK health 
workers not just to recommend exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months, but to 
check that women are breastfeeding at least 8 times in 24 hours (now, don't 
get at me for the message, I'm just the messenger) and to even consider 
re-lactation as a strategy for weight gain issues!!! 

I am preparing to print these off and to give them a more thorough look.  
Thought some on this list might want to know the material is there.
