I have worked with breastfeeding mothers since 1976, first as a volunteer counselor with Nursing Mothers Counsel in California and eventually as the Director of the Breastfeeding Support Program at Harvard Pilgrim Health, a large HMO in Massachusetts. Much of my time is currently spent advocating for breastfeeding on the state and federal levels. I am the executive director of the National Alliance for Breastfeeding Advocacy (NABA) which is the organization that monitors the Code in the US. I sit on the Board of Directors of USLCA, Baby Friendly USA, Massachusetts Breastfeeding Coalition, and Best for Babes. I represent USLCA to the US Department of Agriculture's Breastfeeding Promotion Consortium and I represent NABA to the US Breastfeeding Committee.
