Hi,

Last year I talked to a group of teenagers.  I started by asking who knew if
they had been breastfed - about 1/2 the hands went up.  I then asked who
remembered being breastfed.  One girl put up her hand.  Turned out she was
the school captain and had been breastfed til about 4.  That put the talk
off to a good beginning.
We spoke about the WHO code and the marketing of infant formula.  I had a
slide of the photo of the twins, a skeletal one fed formula and a healthy
one breastfed, how milk is made, why would you breastfeed, skin to skin
contact, supply and demand etc.  There was lots of good discussion.
