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
