## In plain language

A 2022 policy statement on breastfeeding and human milk, published in the journal Pediatrics. This atlas lists it as a reference only and does not repeat its content.

## Technical summary

Pediatrics 2022 (PubMed publication date 2022 Jul 1), DOI 10.1542/peds.2022-057988, PMID 35921640. Policy statements published in Pediatrics are identity-only in this atlas because the publisher's terms bar use by AI systems, so nothing was read beyond one NCBI esummary bibliographic record (no abstract) and no recommendation, duration or claim is recorded. The record names two individual authors and the collective author Section on Breastfeeding, but not an issuing organisation, so no issuer or authored\_by link is recorded. Whether a later edition replaces it was not checked.
