Dr. Ted Greiner is well-qualified to discuss aspects of breastfeeding that are not usually considered on other breastfeeding sites. For over twenty years he has made significant contributions to our knowledge and appreciation of breastfeeding issues, including breastfeeding rights for working women, the relationship between maternal nutrition and breastfeeding, and the development of breastfeeding programs on the community level.

His early publications established the first scientific evidence that commercial marketing of baby foods had a negative influence on how women feed their babies. Though an American, he has lived for many years in Sweden, where he is a full-time consultant and advisor to student researchers. With a background in nutrition and communication, and with international interests, Dr. Greiner sees breastfeeding as a worldwide health issue.

His articles on the web site, presented in five languages, cover the areas of Women at Work, Basic Issues, Health and Nutritional Aspects, HIV, and Breastfeeding Promotion, and consider both the physical and emotional welfare of babies and young children. "Breastfeeding, the Best Investment", and "How Can We Increase the Father's Involvement in Child Care?" are among the many well-written and well-documented papers presented here.

The art gallery is lovely, with paintings, stamps, statues, and handicrafts portraying breastfeeding mothers and children. The site also includes a guest book, and Dr. Greiner's supportive and informative responses to some of the issues raised there.

This attractive web site is one of the most illuminating resources available today on this important topic. In the introduction, Dr. Greiner urges us to "make the world a place where breastfeeding works better for mothers and babies." His own work is a significant factor in that effort.
