Star wrote "My concern is that until the AAP gets 100% on board with the WHO guidelines we will not see any changes here in the US" The American Academy of Pediatrics' revised policy statement on Breastfeeding and the use of human milk (2005, p496) states: "Exclusive breastfeeding is the reference or normative model against which all alternative feeding methods must be measured with regard to growth, health, development, and all other short- and long-term outcomes." So I am thinking that you might suggest that the new charts are in line with AAP policy and that it is only a matter of time before the AAP endorse the new charts. Appeal to her independent professional juudgement. Ask if she wants to lead or to follow.
