<< ......we need to work to change the cultural belief system and change the
attitudes
of parents.>>

Kathy, you are making great progress in this goal, and as applys to hcps
also. i feel certain that many of us on LactNet, will incorporate at least
some of your above expertly crafted and worded post into the information and
advice we give to new parents on this issue.

plus, your post provides an excellent model for us to immulate on how to
convincingly state your case in a professional, non-threating manner.
