Independent Women's Forum Expresses Concern in Open Letter to Secretary Leavitt

Proposed UN Infant Formula Policy Anti-Woman,

Anti-Mother & Anti-Development

• IWF, in agreement with most health professionals, supports

breastfeeding as the preferred method for feeding babies.

• Infant formula has been critical to enabling woman to achieve parity

in the workplace, by creating choice and greater flexibility in infant

nutrition.

• This attack on working women is also an attack on adoptive mothers and

those mothers with physical conditions that make breastfeeding

hazardous, such as women infected with HIV/AIDS.
