It is  certainly not viewed as a public health issue, nor as an issue of 
paramount  importance to personal health and well-being.

By contrast, I wonder if  anyone has ever heard of any AAP document that 
argues that mothers should make  informed decisions from "credible sources" on the 
decision to vaccinate their  children or not? They have even formed 
committees to actively battle opposing  opinions, to pressure legislators to act to 
tighten control on exemptions,?  and to actively promote their position.


~~ I was thinking about the vaccine issue as well, but you said it so well  I 
will leave it at that. The same could be said for Safe Sleeping views. Maybe  
we should make sure mothers have some info about smoking near their infants, 
and  then let them make an informed choice supporting whatever they decide, 
but never  bring it up again, too. 
Until breastfeeding is recognized for the public health intervention that  it 
is,  for physical, physiological, emotional health, etc). everything  will 
continue as it is.
