Elizabeth Baldwin, Esq., prominent Florida attorney, breastfeeding advocate
and La Leche League Leader, passed away March 12 after an extended illness.

Known as the country's authority on breastfeeding and family law, Baldwin
worked tirelessly to help mothers nationwide fight discrimination and
solidify their right to breastfeed their babies both in public and in the
workplace. She was an invaluable help to those who passed breastfeeding
legislation in the United States.   Ms. Baldwin also brought her expertise
into the courtroom representing mothers in cases of child custody and
visitation. Other attorneys in their family law cases often consulted her
when breastfeeding rights were at issue.

  Ms. Baldwin was often quoted in national newspapers and often made
appearances on television and radio shows across the country. Her devotion
to her family and the rights of breastfeeding mothers and babies was
apparent as she balanced her family and professional activities. She served
as the Director of  the Legal Associates Program for La Leche League
International.

  Ms. Baldwin was scheduled to receive the La Leche League International
Founders' Award in July of this year for her years of service to LLLI and
mothers and babies everywhere.

She is survived by her husband, Kenneth Friedman and her children David and
William. Ms. Baldwin will be missed by her many friends and colleagues in
the breastfeeding community.  More information will follow when details are
available.
