"nursing Mother assoc" has never ever supported homebirth. I was
never allowed to talk to women in the group about homebirth. It seems
that actively not supporting homebirth, while tacitly supporting
hospital birth, is discrimination. I have always felt this way.

Subject: [ozmidwifery] ABA endorsing NMAP
?
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
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??
