Dear friends,

Ted Greiner has added three new papers to his website that are likely to be
of interest to an even wider audience than the sixteen papers previously
available. The first is revised from a paper he published in the Journal of
Human Lactation called

*         The Concept of Weaning: Definitions and their Implications

It points out how communication in the field of infant feeding is hampered
by the fact that the word "wean" has so many different meanings. Indeed, we
have failed even to realize the need to differentiate food given to
complement breast milk  from given to replace it, one possible reason for
our failure to find solutions to the problem of malnutrition.

The other two papers come from Ted's presentations at the recent WABA
workshop on Women, Work and Breastfeeding: Human Rights and Creative
Solutions. The first one reminds us of some of th key issues that must be
kept in mind when we work on this issue, and is entitled

*         Breastfeeding and Women's Work: Human Rights
          and Long-term Solutions

Finally, a paper many of us have been waiting for (too long--maybe due to
the lack of men working professionally on this issue):


*  How can we increase the father's involvement in child care?


It presents ideas and points of view from a man whose personal and
professional experience can help provide guidance to many of us who find
ourselves negotiating on a wide range of issues related to the division of
labor within the modern family.
