Pat sent in a marvellous list of refs supporting cup-feeding. She didn't have a year for the WHO-UNICEF training course. It's 1993. Here is the ref and source: WHO/UNICEF Breastfeeding Counselling: A Training Course, World Health Organization/CDR/93.3-6, 1993 a 40-hour course for counsellors who care for women and young children. available from <http://www.who.int/child_adolescent_health/documents/who_cdr_93_3/en/index.html>http://www.who.int/child_adolescent_health/documents/who_cdr_93_3/en/index.html For the info on cup-feeding, click on the link to the Participants manual (the others seem incomplete!). There are no page numbers, but the info about cup-feeding is about three-quarters of the way through.
