Dear Ben,

Your note read like something from a WANT AD of the future. I think there
are 1400 people who are wishing they lived in Florida.....

To work in a baby friendly, breastfeeding knowledgeable office where
breastfeeding was actually a priority and not just given lip service, would
be my dream.  Alas, it would be a commute from Vermont to Florida.....sigh.

Kathleen, dreaming.................

Subject: Looking for Nurse Lactation Consultant

Forida Lactnetter,

I am a young energetic idealistic general pediatrician starting my own
practice in Port Charrlotte,  Florida.  I am looking for  an experienced
Nurse/lactation consult to work with me. My goal is to have a Breast
friendly office where formula is a dirty word.  I want all my families
to have the best care possible where BF is the first step. I like
educating my families and use antibiotics only when indicated.

Does anyone know of a good lactation consultant in the general
area-anywhere from Venice to Punta Gorda?  I would love to meet them
before I start practicing.

Also, If anyone has any pointers to how best to set things up in my
office to give all families the best chance to BF as long as posible I
am all ears.

Sincerely

Ben Helgemo M.D. Email [log in to unmask]  until July 20, 1997
