Dear Friends,
I just retired from working as a Research
Scientist for the State of California's Maternal
and Child Health Program. I did some
breastfeeding research there, and I felt I could
make a difference in the lives of thousands of
mothers and infants.
For example, I found a powerful correlation in
the California Maternal Infant Health Assessment
between length of skin-to-skin contact at birth,
with duration of exclusive breastfeeding (as well
as with lack of maternal depression). I was
preparing to disseminate this information to a
wide audience which included hospital
administrators.
However, the program got new administration, and
breastfeeding research is not on their radar. I
was asked not to spend any more time on these
topics. I do enjoy resarching the rising rate of
early-term deliveries etc, but I could no longer
justify my 5-hour daily commute, so I accepted an
early retirement.
Now I am looking for another opportunity to do
policy research on breastfeeding (and closely
related topics). Can you suggest organizations
which dedicate their resources to this important
endeavor?
Thank you!
Tina
