In the Spring 2008 APHA MCH Newsletter, we urged the membership to call on
the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action for a timely theme. Many of us
in this section and on the Fla MCH Leadership Team urged WABA to consider
having a theme on breastfeeding in emergencies for 2009 -- with the threat
of a future pandemic, and the always present risk of hurricanes and other
natural disasters, the topic will always be timely.  This is in keeping with
APHA policy 200714, Nov. 6, 2007, entitled:  A Call to Action on
Breastfeeding: A Fundamental Public Health Issue.  

I am thrilled to have found out today that  for * World Breastfeeding Week
2009: The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) has announced the
2009 WBW theme:
Breastfeeding: A Vital Emergency Response. Are you ready? www.waba.org.my

Thank you all who wrote in and helped to make a difference!
