I would include info on what nutrients in breastmilk are affected by
maternal diet/lifestyle/birth practices (cord clamping and iron
stores--nobody talks about this!!!!) and how mom's dietary fat
consumption affects fat composition (not amount) in breast milk.

I would also go over all of the health RISKS of not breastfeeding for
baby and mom.  Not sure what the program is like, but they probably
haven't thought of abm in terms of risk.  I would like them to know
about how abm affects gut flora too.
