Dear Mrs. Clinton,
We, at the Center for Healthier Children, Families and
Communities, would like to invite you again to speak at The
National Breastfeeding Policy Conference planned to be held in
Washington DC on November 12 and 13, 1998. The goal of the
conference is to improve breastfeeding initiation and duration
rates in the United States through identifying existing leadership
breastfeeding programs and introducing a new set of policy,
educational, research, and media-related activities. The Policy
Conference is designed to expand the potential stakeholders and
organizations interested in promoting breastfeeding.
While there is no more traditional topic in maternal and child
health than breastfeeding, there are several new trends and
significant new information that demand re-examination of this
age-old topic in order to re- evaluate the best avenue to an
affirmative set of policy initiatives:
-Some new and traditional barriers to successfully initiate and
maintain breastfeeding include employment and work place policies,
hospital policies and practices, presentation in the media and
managed care policies. Some model programs addressing these
barriers to breastfeeding are emerging;
-New research regarding the benefits of breastfeeding in the
United States has recently surfaced. For instance, evidence
regarding the impact of breastfeeding on cognitive development and
on attachment behavior and emotional development suggest more
soundly the presence of multiple factors influencing human growth
and development;
-The transformation of the health care delivery system to managed
care with a focus on population-based health could provide new
opportunities to support breastfeeding as a population-based
preventive intervention as well as cost control strategy
