[quote=Anonymous]“ Third, the World Health Organization has asked the AAP to match their positions on breastfeeding. Unfortunately, this results in painting with too broad a brush.” I honestly think this is part of it. WHO is very zealous on the BF issue. The recent discussion in the US of the reality of so many families needing formula and a focus on supporting families in getting it so they can feed their babies likely spurred a push on the AAP to issue something stronger that is pro BF. And the ping standing AAP recc of 1 year was a very noticeable deviation from the WHO 2+ year push. What is valuable in countries with unsafe water though is not the same thing as in those with safe water. Why this cannot be acknowledged more in BF discussions is beyond me. [/quote]
