Welcome back from the holidays, everyone, and happy New Year!

The Texas Department of Health has just completed the Texas Position Statement
on Infant Feeding.  It has been approved by the Texas Board of Health and the
Texas Medical Association.  It is now being sent out for endorsement by the
organizations that helped in its development.

You can get a sneak preview of the executive summary at:

http://www.tdh.state.tx.us/lactate/EXECSUMM.htm

When the document has completed the final formatting and all endorsers are
included, portions or all of the paper will be on the web - sometime around
March or April, I think.

Just thought y'all would like advance notice, since many of you may be able to
initiate something similar in your state.
