To all you Israelis out there,
I need help in a major project.
We are compiling WHO code violations in order to send them ultimately to
the attention of the State Comptroller.  Also, BF malpractice cases would
be of help(where doctors/nurses failed to provide accurate information)
.
I have requested some information from outside Israel as well, and will
probably be taxed with translating everything.  If you can lend a hand,
please let me know.

This project is in order to help IBCLC gain status in Israel.  The Ministry
of Health does not recognize ILCA; nor has it officially recognized the
advantages of breastfeeding, particularly in relation to SIDS.  We also
hope to encourage more companies to adopt the practice of providing on-site
childcare, as the Supreme Court has just begun.  All information is
welcome, from the Arab sector as well.
This is in the interest of improving all our lives; especially since quite
a few breastfeeding professionals are coming to Israel at this time, as
well as those of us who are studying, and we would like to be able to
practice in an official environment if not an open one.
