Hello,

The NY State BF education package is called:

"Breastfeding  First Step to Good Health,  A Breastfeeding Education Activity
Package for Grades K-12"

I have the curriculm.  The address inside is:

New York Department of Health
Bureau of Child and Adolescent Health
Corning Tower, Empire Plaza
Albany, New York   12237-0618
(No phone listed)

However, I faxed a request for the packet to:

New York State Dept. of Health
One University Plaza
Rensselar, NY    12144-3456
Fax  518-402-0329

It's my understanding it is free of charge to anyone.  I assume that means to
people outside of New York State.  It's a very well organized packet that
starts a the kindergarten level and goes all the way up to high school.  It
introduces breastfeeding into many other aspects of life like nutrition,
family life, biology, health, reproduction, and ecology.  It has a great deal
of ideas that easily lead the way to a breastfeeding conversation especially
at the lower age groups.  For instance, it suggests reading Are You My Mother
to remind kids that each baby should get cared for by it's mother, including
feeding. I believe each school distict in NY was told about the packet (I
almost want to say every district received a copy, but I'm not that sure).
I've used a lot of the ideas for my WIC participants and peer counselor
training groups.

Hope this helps!
Maureen
