To the Editor.—

The important contribution of pediatricians in the promotion of breast-feeding has been noted.1-4 In these discussions, the pediatrician's instrumental activities have been described primarily in terms of influence on the choice of feeding method, intervention in hospital postpartum routine, communication of support for the lactating mother, and provision of advice regarding the introduction of other infant foods. Little attention has been given to the role of pediatricians in the practical and maternal aspects of lactation management.
