ADVOCACY RESOURCES

What's Out There Already?
There are a number of tools or “supplies” to be familiar with no matter where or what breastfeeding lobbying you are engaged in. The US has numerous documents, not only calling for breastfeeding reform, but also describing what needs to be done. Secure copies of these for background purposes, to quote in letters or testimony, for benchmarking and evaluation, or to simply write your congressman and ask why little or nothing has been done to fulfill the various recommendations.
