Nina Berry and I put out a press release today about our paper discussing why promoting breastfeeding as "best" undermines women's ability to breastfeed. We've had some press here in Australia (hopefully might get a bit more tomorrow). If anyone elsewhere has any media links that might like to base a story on this please pass on the link to the release http://media.uow.edu.au/releases/UOW041806.html
It was kind of ironic today that the first alert I received included a link to an article in which the UK health minister saying "Breast is Best" was strongly highlighted.
