> If you look at the GOLD Lactation Conference line-up, you will see plenty

>
> Many have their own businesses and offer courses, training, and webinars. I
> am on, offering an on-line 20-hour basic breastfeeding course, based on the
> 2016 US BFHI outline.

> The new generations are doing it differently than did we, because their

> WIC staff now include breastfeeding peer counselors, as well as CLCs and
> IBCLCs. There are host of credentialed lactation service providers besides
> those.   ROSE, Baby Café, Healthy Children, BreastfeedingUSA, CHAMPS and
> other organizations are offering local and hospital support. LLL is still
> alive...YAY!
>
> Remember too that when we started, there was no BabyFriendly Hospital
> Initiative. And  there was no CDC keeping track of who is breastfeeding;
> all we had for any numbers was Ross Marketing data.
>
> I am sad at how many of this new generation accept formula as a given part
> of the infant feeding equation.   I started my career during a Nestlé
> boycott, believing that I didn't need or want to know about formulae,
> because breastfeeding information was scarce and we lactivists were
> fighting to get breastfeeding on the map.  Now there is an Infant Feeding
> Specialist certification course.
>
> Now too, since last Fall, physicians can become Board-certified in
> Breastfeeding Medicine via the North American Board of Breastfeeding and
> Lactation Medicine.
>
> We are still fighting, up against a $55 billion/year marketing industry
> that buys legislators to influence public policy and sow doubt and fear
> into the public mind.
>
> I thought by the time I died, that breastfeeding would be the cultural
> norm.  It isn't. AND, many many more babies than when I started have been
> and continue to be breastfed.

> warmly,
