Lactnet,
A while back I posted that this was coming in September. Now the Healthy
People info and objectives are on the web since 9/15 and open for public
comment. Go to
http://web.health.gov/healthypeople
You can click on the document, you can give comments etc. I haven't
viewed it all yet, but did check out the site and the url works. Under
goals and then objectives, #2 is Nutrition, and #12 is Maternal, Infant,
and Child Health. This is usually where bf comes in.
Many sub-objectives are under M,I,C section, such as "infant mortality".
I also saw the heading "Family Planning" - don't know if bf is covered
there.
Please take a look see and contribute your comments, if you can.
