Breastfeeding: Issues and Challenges in the New Millennium is a collection of papers based on the presentations made at a one-day technical update during the September 2000 meeting of the Nutrition Focal Points from West Africa. The papers present evidence from research, note policy advances, and discuss programmatic implications.
They examine the health, economic, and fertility benefits of breastfeeding; the risks and realities of HIV transmission through breastfeeding; the links between breastfeeding and vitamin A; and implementation of the Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes.
