Hello,
The US Department of Health and Human Services is accepting comments for a new "Call to Action" on Breastfeeding. This document will shape policy around breastfeeding for the next 5-10 years.

If you would like to add your comments, please go to

http://www.blsmeetings.net/owh_call_...breastfeeding/

Individuals and organizations are encouraged to submit comments describing new approaches that are most urgently needed to increase breastfeeding rates.

I mentioned two things 1) the need to promote a positive bf message to low-income women and women of color (both have low bf rates) and 2) the need to STOP the formula marketing and distribution in hospitals.
