Miscellaneous News:

• A new breastfeeding promotion campaign that the Massachusetts Breastfeeding Coalition had launched. It is called "Breastfeeding for all Walks of Life" and shows the legs and shoes of many different dressing styles to help the public understand that breastfeeding is for everyone. The posters are on one of the commuter train lines in Boston and will be complemented by a series of three postcard mailings to OB providers in the state. The postcards will have the photo on one side and a clinical question and answer plus a practice pearl on the other side. Visit www.massbfc.org for an explanation of the campaign. Materials are available to be downloaded for your use.
