Kathy Detwyler....I am an Ob/Gyn NP working in private practice and a charter member of ACOG's Educational Affiliate section. I believe the guidelines are from ACOG's Educational Bulletin series #258 July 2000 "Breastfeeding: Maternal and Infant Aspects". The journal is Obstetrics & Gynecology, fondly known as the green journal...It is less expensive to become an educational affiliate member than to subscribe to the journal and obtain a complete set of educational bulletins.... *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
