Our world is shrinking due to computerized linkages and the mobility of society. Information is shared rapidly around the world. Issues surrounding newborn and infant nursing are global. In efforts to acknowledge the international community, each Newborn and Infant Nursing Review (NAINR) issue will feature a column that highlights care related issues from a featured country or region of the world. This article focuses on the United States. Newborn and infant health issues are global ones. To review issues occurring in different areas of the world, a different area of the globe will be featured that addresses NAINR’s theme-oriented topic. This month Australia will be featured. Our guest authors are Dr. Jann Foster and Ms. Kim Psalia, faculty from University of Sydney/University of Western Sydney, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Penrith, New South Wales, Australia.
