I receive the Newsletter of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine. In the
latest issue, Vol.4,No.4,1998 there was an editorial by Dr. Lawrence M.
Gartner. He was making an observation of physicians involvement in promoting
and supporting breastfeeding. He states he was in Australia recently and found
the physicians had minimal to no involvement. He went on to say Egypt's
physicians were very involved.
He did not expand on the Australian group and since we have several on Lacnet
from "Down Under" I was hoping that some of you might enlighten us on what he
observed.

I know Dr. Gartner has posted to Lactnet in the past but I'm not sure if he is
a regular. The newsletter is very good, by the way.
Thanks,
