It is so nice to see another MD interested in learning more about
lactation and breastfeeding.  Self taught is fine and there are lots of
books and self teaching modules around. One good one is Lactation
Management Skills by Vergie Hughes.  Some of the modules are more
advanced than others but you might find yourself learning alot from
them.  The premature and alternative feeding modules are particularly good.
        The most important thing is
seeing lots of breastfeeding dyads in varying situations.  If there is a
LLL group that has couples meetings (my group for example has a couples
meeting every 4 months) then you might also want to consider going to a
meeting and hearing mothers' concerns.
