BREASTFEEDING MEDICINE Volume 3, Number 4, 2008

THE SCIENCE OF BREASTFEEDING and human lactation requires that physicians of many specialties have a collaborative forum to promote progress in physician education and research. In order to optimize breastfeeding practices universally, physicians must learn evidence-based breastfeeding medicine, skills, and attitudes. There have been relatively few physicians committed to these goals, therefore requiring an establishment of a dedicated organization to meet the unique educational needs of physicians.

Because the study of breastfeeding and human lactation has never been recognized as a subspecialty of medicine, the maintenance of a multispecialty, physician-only organization dedicated to physician education and expansion of knowledge in this field is imperative.
