I have a policy statement from the British Dietetic Association, and both a policy statement and practice guidance from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (USA). I can't find any other countries. Anyone know of others? with link to document if possible. Thanks.
Thanks Carole C Tranchant. I am looking for practice-related documents that state that a dietitian should be competent to implement these recommendations, to discuss these practices with colleagues and parents. Or if a joint organisation statement (including dietitians) that states the health professionals should be competent in the related practice. For example this is the US dietitians practice guideline https://www.eatrightpro.org/practice/position-and-practice-papers/practice-papers/practice-paper-promoting-supporting-breastfeeding
Carole C Tranchant We are writing a national dietitians' guidelines similar to that nurses guidelines. We would like a sentence in the introduction such as: "dietetic association in many countries have practice guidelines ..." but can't find other countries to cite!

This is a link to an older document that was used in Australia. I'm not too up to date anymore however I know that dietitians referred to this here.
Dakota Rhys-Jones Thanks for replying. Those are the government guidelines. I am looking for something from a dietitians' professional association that says dietitians are expected to follow these government guidelines and be competent to do so.

link on maintaining professional standards may be what your are seeking
Thanks Katherine Healy The Role Statements are the type of document I am looking for in order to develop our own. I couldn't find a statement mentioning breastfeeding - is there one there?
as per Dakota above it's just NHMRC guidelines and also the ABA https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/
no specific DAA statement I believe
