Abstract

The United States has been slow to embrace the 1989 World Health Organization (WHO)/United Nation’s International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) statement on breastfeeding. This statement summarizes principles and action steps to improve perinatal breastfeeding worldwide ( World Health Organization and United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, 1989 World Health Organization and United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund Protecting, promoting, and supporting breast-feeding: The special role of maternity services. World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland1989 Google Scholar ).
