[ozmidwifery] ABA endorsing NMAP ?

[Larry & Megan]

Hi Denise and list, I asked an Adelaide ABA member (in an unnofficial way) to approach the board re NMAP , this is part of what she was able to reply to me   The reply that I have received back from one of the board members mentions the following concerns:   1. How well educated in the art of breastfeeding are the midwives? Will there be consistency of care and information?   2. What commitment to breastfeeding does this body have?   3. Are there any  WHO Code issues involved?   4. ABA probably doesn't have a 'place' entering a political sphere primarily between midwives and obstetricians.   There are big questions here that would need considerable discussion and the board feels that at this time they cannot justify the time and energy to pursue this cause.   There are so many response to this, even without  time and energy spent.   Regards Megan     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Denise Hynd Sent: Friday, 6 September 2002 8:48 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] sleepless night Barbara I have sent at least three e-mails to the national ABA president asking the board to consider endorsing NMAP as the breastfeeding outcomes of this option are excellent. But so far I have not had a response? Can you please help??
