Hi Y'all, Texas is busy again. Texas Department of Health is putting together a proposal to include breastfeeding education into all scvhool curriculum state wide. The current proposal is brief, and broken into 3 parts. 1. Pre-K through elementary- focus on species specific milk- Middle School- eating healthy for good health and the lifelong impact of breastmilk and breastfeeding High School- integrated curriculum in anatomy, biology, life science, health etc. focusing on the why and the how. The proposal will be coupled with information identifying breastfeeding as a major public health issue, including recommendations from AAP, WHO and TDH and finish with offers for age appropriate teaching materials available. Has anyone had experience with or success with a proposal like this? Are you familiar with any states that have included curriculum requirements related to breastfeeding? Does anyone have suggestions for things to include or ways to promote this? I am posting this with permission from Texas Department of Health and will forward any repsonses that come to me in private e-mail or posted to the list. Thanks, Cathy Liles IBCLC
