          This is to introduce myself as a new subscriber to LACTNET.
          My name is Dr Felicity Savage, and I work in the Programme
          for the Control of Diarrhoeal Disease (CDD Programme) at the
          World Health Organization, Geneva, with responsibility for
          breastfeeding. We have developed a 40-hour pack of
          materials "Breastfeeding counselling: A training course"
          in collaboration with UNICEF which is being used in a number
          of countries for training health workers in the clinical and
          counselling skills needed to support breastfeeding mothers.
          This is part of the globabl Baby Friendly Hospital
          Initiative. From 1991-1993, I was ILCA International
          Delegate, and was privileged to attend several ILCA
          conferences. My background is community pediatrics, with an
          emphasis on child nutrition, and I have lived and worked for
          18 years in developing countries - Zambia, Indonesia, and
          Kenya, and now travel to many other countries for shorter
          periods. I have two sons, both students, both breastfed well
          into the second year. I look forward to learning from
          all other subscribers to lactnet. Cheers - Felicity.
