Breastfeeding
Promotion Consortium (BPC)
The Food and Nutrition
Service co-hosts, with the Department of Health and Human
Services, biannual meetings of the BPC, which was established
in 1990, to exchange ideas on how the Federal government and
private health organizations can collaboratively promote
breastfeeding as the optimal form of infant nutrition.
One of the goals of the
BPC includes working toward achieving the Healthy People 2010
breastfeeding objectives.
The BPC is composed of
over 25 organizations including health professional associations,
breastfeeding advocacy groups and other Federal agencies that
promote and support breastfeeding through sharing information and
sponsoring joint projects.
