The Amer Academy of Pediatrics website can be searched at:
http://www.aap.org/search/search.htm
The URL for the full text AAP Policy Statement "Breastfeeding and the
Use of Human Milk (RE9729)" of December 1997 (which is as recent as it
gets) can be found at:
http://www.aap.org/policy/re9729.html

The ACNM (Amer College of Nurse- Midwives) can be searched at
http://www.midwife.org/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/search/index.htm
and has a practice statement on breastfeeding at:
http://www.midwife.org/prof/breast.htm

The AWHONN (Assoc. of Women's Health, OB, and Neonatal Nurses) site is
not searchable per se, but they have their position statement on
breastfeeding posted at
http://www.awhonn.org/resour/position/psbfeed.html

The American College of OB-Gyn (ACOG) has a fairly closed website, but
their search engine is located at
http://www.acog.com/search97/samples/forms/acogqry.htm
and apparently has no statement on breastfeeding (hopefully I am wrong
on this).

To search for US government documents, go to http://www.fedworld.gov/ to
access their search engine of approx 1/2 million documents

To search for WHO documents (including press releases with some relating
to BFing) go to their search page at
http://www.who.ch/architext/AT-all_whoquery.html

For the historical 1981 statement on Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes
from the World Federation of Public Health Associations (WFPHA) to the
WHO, go to
http://www.apha.org/wfpha/breastmilk.html

Although the APHA (American Public Health Association) has not issued a
statement on breastfeeding, I know the Breastfeeding Committee of their
Maternal-Child Health Section has been trying to get one adopted by the
APHA general assembly for several years, but without success so far.

Lamaze International can likewise be searched at
http://www.lalecheleague.org/search.html
(be sure to read the instructions for Boolean search strategies as it is
different than usual at the LLLI site)

UNICEF Webs can be search via
http://www.unicef.org/search/searcnew.htm
or UNICEF fulltext articles can be found through their gopher pages at:
gopher://gopher.unicef.org/
