Dear Dr. Andrew and all, I appreciated your comments on MD's lactation education, and suspected something like that to be the case. Dr.s know THOUSANDS of things that I don't know and I don't expect them to know everything about breastfeeding. I have the good fortune of working in a teaching hospital and most of the residents and staff MDs are quite receptive to teaching about anything, including breastfeeding. As a nurse I have sought and paid for all of my specialty lactation education and LOVE working in this field. Some people love fishing or motorcycles...and I love breastfeeding! And I love helping parents get off to a good start! Keeping warm in Minnesota, the kids just brought in some more wood. Susan Potts RN IBCLC BTW I love the name Andrew, it is the only boy's name in the world my hubby and I agreed on. Our Andrew is 9 years old and used to nurse his teddy bear while I nursed his sisters.
