>"Breastfeeding: First Step to Good Health," a set of breastfeeding
>education materials for grades K-12, was recently added to the New York
>State Department of Health website.  The internet address is:
>
>        http://www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/b_feed/index.htm
>
>The aim of these materials is to increase public awareness and acceptance
>of breastfeeding as the normal and preferable way to feed babies.  The
>lessons introduce age-appropriate information about breastfeeding in the
>context of lessons on nutrition, economics, ecology, family life, and
>health.
>The materials were developed several years ago through a collaborative
>effort of the NYS Departments of Health and Education.  Both phases of the
>project -- curriculum development and internet translation -- were
>supported by funding from the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau.
