title: The commitment to breastfeeding.
abstract: The Agency for International Development (A.I.D.) is increasing its efforts to promote breastfeeding, as part of its child survival initiatives in child spacing, diarrheal disease control, and nutrition. Research suggests that promotion can increase breastfeeding rates. The Agency, for the first time, has set aside funds specifically for breastfeeding promotion and is working to identify places in its programs where such promotion can take place.
