Thanks for posting about this, Lisa.

After skimming it looks an interesting and useful document in many ways.  I
have some reservatuions about the whole topic of sub-clinical mastitis --
which is of great interest as a possible method of HIV-transmission from
women to their babies.  I do worry that this might come into the catagory
described by Penny van Esterik as 'pathologising the normal'.

Great that this is on the internet -- do you, or anyone, know if two other
WHO publications referenced (you know you are sad when you read the
references more thoroughly than the document!) :  1998, 'Relactation: a
review of experience and recommendation for practice' and 2000, 'HIV and
Infant feeding counselling: a trianing course' -- or would one have to
order/request from Geneva (I searched WHO site, but could not spot these
docs...or an email address to enquire).  Thanks if anyone can help.
