Hi everyone I've only seen a brief mention about the release of the Lancet Breastfeeding Series on Lactnet (thank you Margaret). This is huge, people! Here are a few links - listening to the recorded launch event is well worth a couple of hours of your time, if only to give encouragement and reinforcement to those of us in the trenches, that what we do day after day really is worthwhile and valuable. But some great advocacy materials here too. Enjoy!
