My mentor here has recommended it to women for use before pregnancy, and
then to do the suggested follow-ups isn't such a big deal, even during
pregnancy.  She said quite a few women have really given her very positive
feedback (It probably improved their sex lives as well - or at least gave
them a feeling of a more acceptable body).

I think the real hindrance is the price.  However, I think that if it
really makes women happy and gives them a good feeling that it's helped
them, I think that's what's important.  Remember the psychophysiology part
can really make a difference.  I'm not so sure I'd want to use just a plain
old syringe myself, but look at this nifty gadget, called the ------  and
whala!  That's cool!

I think it gives women the feeling that their problem is being taken
seriously by someone somewhere, and some women probably see the inverted
syringe as some contraption the LC just came up with to get rid of their
problem and go on to the next.

Just today on the rounds I accompanied the LC on, she used the inverted
syringe on some girl who obviously thought it was distasteful--( but then
it seems this woman found everything beneath her approval - she is probably
giving the baby formula  as I type, while she complains that cows can't
just BF our babies for us. ho-hum  I grade her at -100 bonding. very sad.)

Remember, the everyday woman in the hospital doesn't read our books, nor
does she read Lactnet.

Never underestimate the value of commercialism: not  with formula, beer,
cigarettes, or anything else.
Maybe in the society I live in we tend to be more contraption oriented than
in the States?
