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?
