This is interesting.  I just received from my supervisor yesterday a
copy of an article from the Journal of Human Lactation (18(1), p. 56)
called "Bottle-Feeding as a Tool to Reinforce Breastfeeding" by Dee
Kassing, BS, MLS, IBCLC.  It is apparently something that was sent to
all the post-partum doulas in our program.

I'm curious as to what other list members have thought of this article.
