Did it last week, to a group of 8 who presented to their peers... Does
that count as experience ?
I agree with you: the "adversarial approach", as in bringing in a
controversial paper might not be a good idea...
How about starting with asking them a few questions about bf. Do they
know how to cure a mastitis (or should a baby nurse on a mastitis?) Mine
did not, and I got their attention right away. Is it normal that the
nipples hurt? Mine said "probably" (did not say Yes because were under
shock from the mastitis question).
Then proceed with common management problems. They probably know that
breast is best (mine had 4 lectures on it) but know of only one answer to
problems, and it is "wean. Then, talk about substitutes: first, EBM,
then, Human milk banks, etc... then ABM, and their risks.
Good luck. It is worth it: they are good "kids", very bright and stimulating.
