Blueprint for Action on Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is one of the most important contributors to infant & maternal health, & it also contributes economic benefits to the family, health care system, & workplace. The Surgeon General asked the Office on Women's Health to draw up this Blueprint for Action on Breastfeeding, which establishes a comprehensive breastfeeding policy for the nation. It introduces an action plan for breastfeeding based on education, training, awareness, support & research. The plan includes key recommendations that were refined by the members & reviewers of the Subcommittee on Breastfeeding during their deliberations of science-based findings.Satcher, David is the author of 'Blueprint for Action on Breastfeeding', published 2001 under ISBN 9780756707934 and ISBN 0756707935.
