The report is broken into sections which include breastfeeding as an important obesity prevention strategy.  Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is identified as one of the healthy choices for obesity prevention.  Breastfeeding is addressed in the child care, worksite, medical providers and community support sections.  Breastfeeding is not addressed as fully in the report as many of the other obesity prevention strategies.
