The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding
xxxxxx
On January 20, 2011, Surgeon General Regina M. Benjamin released The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding in the Jack Morton Auditorium at The George Washington University.  http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/   

The Surgeon General's CTA is aimed at better supporting mothers who choose to breastfeed by education and by removing the barriers that hamper successful breastfeeding in our society.
(at about 16 minutes there is a problem with the sound, but keep listening it only last about 1 minute)

The Florida Breastfeeding Coalition is already working on several of the steps outlined in the Surgeon General's CTA.
