Our state infant mortality task force is making a list of
recommendations to the governor on how to reduce infant mortality in the
state, and the chairman is refusing to include breastfeeding because it
was recommended by a hospital LC who he accused of being "self serving."
We are getting ready to take this on before the final recommendations
are made, but I need studies specifically dealing with infant
mortality--not morbidity.  Can anybody send me references/abstracts
within the past 5 yrs that can be included?  Thanks for your help.  An
internet search could get awfully cumbersome but that's where I'll go if
I need to.
