Laurie referenced the Pampers Parenting Institute.  I would like to point
out that Pampers basis the information in their program and their Childbirth
Forum Program on the work of Berry Brazelton, most notably his 1992
Touchpoints Book.   He is quite out of date and out of touch in many
regards, including lactation information and comforting and soothing.  As a
CBE, I have been in touch with the Pampers Parenting Institute and am in the
process of documenting all their misinformation, including current and
correct citations so that they can make corrections.

While Brazelton is a big name, he has always been off the mark in some key
ways about breastfeeding and soothing.  The representative I spoke with
seemed very receptive to my concerns, especially since I said I could
reference my information.  I will keep you posted.
