[ID] 12 [Interest Areas] Breastfeeding Coalition Representative Concerned Citizen Health Care Provider [Comment] I think the Call to Action has to be very explicit in calling for Baby Friendly. I am negatively impressed by alternatives like the Texas Ten Steps, which has over 60 hospitals, but only 4 have no formula bags, and only 1 (or none) are Baby Friendly, and they have below average mPINC scores. I also think related to this, that it is imperative that health organizations sever ties to the formula industry. I think AAP's ties to industry is one of the single biggest barriers to Baby Friendly. I think conflicts of interest should be explicitly discouraged, and this is the most egregious one-- and there is ample evidence that it harms policy and public health. [Topic]
