I just looked at the link you mentioned, Norma, and I browsed to see what other info they had on Medline about breastfeeding.........NOT MUCH!!!!! Very little, and practically no links for bf support.

Just saw this on Medline: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_122770.html >Health Tip: Minimize Breastfeeding Pain Steps you can take, By Diana Kohnle Friday, March 9, 2012 Breast-feeding can be painful or uncomfortable, but there are things moms can do to make it a more pleasant experience. < OK. I know that the author is probably not an IBCLC (!) but doesn't Medline have an obligation to make sure the information it publiishes is accurate and complete? No wonder mothers stop nursing so early, with headlines like these.
