Thanks for this! It looks like one of their publications may already be eligible. From Breastfeeding: How to Support Success by Tine Vinther and Elisabet Helsing, Ph.D.: "All rights in this document are reserved by the WHO Regional Office for Europe. The document may nevertheless be freely reviewed, abstracted, reproduced or translated, but not for sale or for use in conjunction with commercial purposes. Any views expressed by named authors are solely the responsibility of those authors. The Regional Office would appreciate receiving three copies of any translation." It looks like, at least for this document, we've already been granted permission, but perhaps Greg or Michael can comment. I think this would be a great addition to the archive. the abstract says: "Mothers eager to breastfeed their infants are often reliant on health workers for advice regarding breastfeeding. The knowledge and attitude of health workers can influence the success or failure of breastfeeding. However, the formal education of health workers on how to help mothers to cope with the process of lactation is often inadequate. This document is designed to guide health workers in the process of supporting mothers to breastfeed successfully." However, eventhough it is aimed at health professionals, my wife found it very understandable and helpful with our first kid. At 12:36 PM 5/21/2005, you wrote:
