Just a heads up. I just saw a piece on MSNBC about the infant mortality rates 
in the US and how bad it is compared to other countries. During the interview 
Robert Brazell was reporting about the health care sysytem in the US and how 
it may be a link with infant mortality. 
That is another issue, but during the report he had a video of infants in 
hospital nurseries being fed formula. No mention at all about breastfeeding. 
I already wrote a letter about how they missed an opportunity to show a link 
between infant mortality rates and breastfeeding.
They reported these numbers from 2004 so not sure why it was talked about 
today.
If this is going to be a talking point over the next few news cycles (although 
with the dow losing so much today that may be the only time we hear about 
it), we need to make sure we are on top of this issue and respond to each 
report.
