This BF education package sounds very interesting. I guess it's only for US
residents. Could one of you maybe order it and send it to me? I undestand
it's free of charge, and just let me know how much the postage is.
Contact me by email first of course, so I'll get just one copy.

TIA

>The NY State BF education package is called:

>I have the curriculm.  The address inside is:
>New York Department of Health Bureau of Child and Adolescent Health Corning
