Yes, you'd get their attention if the title of the talk was
"Breast/Breastfeeding is no longer best" ...There are a number of papers
that have talked about this starting with one from the Jelliffes in the 70s
but also Mike Latham, Diane Wiessinger and Nina Berry and myself (there's
also a clip from a debate I was a part of on youtube). Happy to pass these
on to any wishing to use them. The language is so incredibly important!
