Front page Washington Post: "Breast-Feeding May Cut Obesity In Childhood".
Comments that I was particularly impressed with were made by William Dietz of
the CDC&P;  including comments about the decrease in bf as women return to
work and that removing barriers to continued bf at work "may represent one of
the policy shifts necessary to help address the obesity epidemic." According
to the WP article, he "wrote an editorial accompanying the {related} studies
in today's Journal of the American Medical Association."

He may be a good candidate for a conference speaker.
