I need to check some information with my learned collegues for that medical
student lecture on Monday 10/30. Please email me privately if you have
references for any of the following information. Also let me know if I am
wrong
1. Breastfeeding initiation rates the last reference I have is: As of June
1992 only 54% of new mothers were initiating breastfeeding.
1. Recommendations for length of breastfeeding:
Amer Acc of Pediatrics---4 to 6 mo
WHO-- 2 years
Institute of Medicine-??
La Leche League International --baby should self wean
3. Any current or recent litigation against formula companies in the US or
elsewhere?
4. The US spends $500 million in WIC services per year-- How much of that is
the cost of ABM?
TIA
