I need to check some information with my learned collegues for that medical
student lecture on Monday 10/30.  Please email me privately if you have
references for any of the following information. Also let me know if I am
wrong

1. Breastfeeding initiation rates the last reference I have is:  As of June
1992 only 54% of new mothers were initiating breastfeeding.

1. Recommendations for length of breastfeeding:
Amer Acc of Pediatrics---4 to 6 mo
WHO--  2 years
Institute of Medicine-??
La Leche League International --baby should self wean

3. Any current or recent litigation against formula companies in the US or
elsewhere?

4. The US spends $500 million in WIC services per year-- How much of that is
the cost of ABM?
TIA
