I love your Watching The Sunrise and will surely use that often and give  you 
credit.  As someone who nursed children 3-4 years each in "nose  and chin to 
breast" in cradle position only and has seen different nursing  styles come 
and go, (ask Kittie Franz and many others), I like to keep a lot of  tools in my 
kit so that I can assess each nursing couplet separately.  That  RAM on 
technique still sorks better for some folks.  And boy, have I seen  some pretty 
wierd positioning in the mall but everyone looked fne and it was not  my 
business. 
Where I will rant right along with you is about the partially educated  
'experts', giving out incorrect and inconsistent, incomplete, information,  
chastising parents and making them feel crazy, sad, confused and ready to  quit.  We 
have to do something about standardization of protocols, and  enforcement of 
such.  I also wish someone clever would design an incident  report form for 
parents so they could report, in detail, violations of their  feeding choices, 
rude treatment, verbal abuse, and other harrassments people  actually pay for at 
the hospital or LC's office.  Enough.
