Yes, MArsha, they did make some positive statements, which surprised me as well. However, they did make some serious errors in their letter saying they are based on research. But they are not and are not correct. Barbara did an excellent job of correcting those errors and remain positive. Thank you, Barbara. I think we always have to correct such statements. One thousand calories per day could very well seem a barrier to many women, therefore the information must be clarified. Same with the incorrect information about WIC. It is essential we remain positive but correct erroneous information which could deter women from breastfeeding as well.
