<<So Gail (and the other MDs on the list) what was it that made the
difference with you that you didn't end up in the situation os not knowing
about breastfeeding? I'm curious.>>


When my first son was born I wasn't particularly committed to breastfeed.
I had a little bit of luck on my side. Some memories that stand out to me:

-A breastfeeding poster hanging in the hall of a rural clinic that I did a
two month rotation during residency.

-My sister had the first baby and she was an excellent role model as
breastfeeding mother.

-My dh had one lecture on breastfeeding in his medical school. He remembered
breastfed babies were smarter.
