1. Although Alabama DPH mentions breastfeeding as a "key strategy" ?
to meet the "strategic goal" of the State Perinatal Program, ?
(http://www.adph.org/perinatal/Default.asp?id=6971) there is no ?
mention of breastfeeding in the DPH laws and regulations beyond ?
the right to breastfeed in public ?

Baby-Friendly Hospitals in the state ?
