Hi Susan,
I, too, just received an email inviting me to list my name on this
website. I knew nothing of the site till this invitation. I looked
through much of the site, and found quite a few typos and grammatical
errors and some breastfeeding information that was incomplete, confusing,
incorrect, or that I did not agree with. For instance, in response to the
question "When should I start solid foods?" the answer is "By 4 to 6
months. Although the U.S academy of pediatrics recommends that breastfed
babies start solids at 6 months. Breast milk is the perfect food for your
baby's entire first year. Nutritionally it is complete and it continues to
enhance and develop your baby's immune system each day, so the choice as to
when to introduce solids is really yours." This answer is confusing, at
best. Under the heading "Crying at the breast," one is pointed to the
section on "Nursing Strikes" which does not speak to the myriad of other
reasons for a baby crying at the breast. There are quite a few other
answers under the "Topics" section which do not measure up, IMHO. That
said, there is a decent amount of good information also, and, obviously the
site owner is trying to offer a good service.
As your signature states, Susan, "What you permit, you promote," so I'm
going to give some thought as to whether having my name listed on the site
acts to condone the info there. Of course, an alternative would be to
offer to work with the woman who's running the site and correct the info I
find in error! :-)

>I just came from a home visit to two week old with what the parents referred
>to as "Two to One Heartblock." Baby was delivered early via C-section as
>diagnosis was made in utero. Baby was supplemented with bottle in hospital,
>post breast feeds, as well as at home. Mother was given nipple shields in
>hospital but she has just discontinued using them. Usually, one to two
>ounces was
>given to baby after she frets at the breast. Mother presents with two
>cracked and sore nipples. Baby is on oral Hydrocortizone. Mother is on
>Dexamethazone which she is weaning off of, but was on during pregnancy
>given fetus
>diagnosis. Milk supply was fair, but baby was so unwilling to work at the
>breast, that I am using SNS to increase flow to baby more quickly as well
>as to
>convince parents to rely on bottles less. Also, gave mother Symphony to
>start
>pumping at least four times a day beginning tomw. Each feed takes over an
>hour currently. Baby has not regained birth weight at two weeks old. Baby
>does not suck vigorously and does not stay at breast for long before she
>shuts
>down and falls asleep. I am unsure of the tolerance of baby given this
>diagnosis and came away feeling worried and concerned for any stress on
>the baby.
>I will contact HCP tomorrow for information but wondered if any of you have
>worked with babies with this Heartblock diagnosis. Thanks, Ann

>I wanted to remind you that one of the pump companies does offer free of

>corresponds
>to the bfing mechanics ( or not). They have every pump that is currently on

>etc impacts on her ease of using certain pumps. This workshop will be
>presented in NC this spring as a pre-session at the Trends and Issues of
>Breastfeeding Conference.
>I have no interest in pump companies and some may not find this information
