Our international audience must be pretty sick of this topic. Sorry -- it will pass soon. I'm still recovering from having actually watched the episode. One of you will surely come on-line with an excellent, articulate analysis, but I'm still sorting through my initial reaction: this was appalling!! Anyone working on the Baby Friendly Hospital issue must be apoplectic. Tell us more about "the pledge." The worst part, as feared -- the story made it seem that this tragedy could happen to anyone -- that this sympathetically portrayed mother had no clue that things weren't right. (No weight gain in six weeks!!) I'm writing more than intended. I just wanted to post that ABC News at http://www.abcnews.com/sections/living/DailyNews/breastmilk.html has a piece on the CH controversy, including a list of reasons why a woman may have insufficient milk. Way back when this issue came up in the Wall Street Journal, Ruth Lawrence made the commonsense remark about such situations "they're rare and they're catchable," by health care professionals, a stance that seems realistic and reassuring. Anyway, heartfelt congratulations and thanks to all the determined people who have worked hard to wrest something positive from the situation, and convey good information about help available when breastfeeding isn't going well.
