Susan,
I saw the Avent film and was very skeptical; it seemed suspicious as in paid
to advertise and endorse which always makes me leary. I've had moms perhaps
start with A**** I*** to encourage letdown and then switch to double electric
when it's difficult to get much milk but like you wouldn't feel comfortable
recommending a hand pump for entire pumping sessions, esp when exclusive
pumping necessary.
Another media, advertising suspect that had me scratching my head and audibly
sighing: birth center where I teach and run a support group has all these
"freebie" magazines that overflow with misinformation and elevate my BP
dangerously. If anyone has access to "first year of parenting" put out by
American Baby, and toy co. and disposable diaper co., please take a look. I
found at least four glaring errors re BF alone and I was just browsing,
waiting for group moms to arrive. I plan to write because, while some info
just goes against baby empathic care, once again stooling is not mentioned as
sign baby "getting enough," just wets. (I see this repeatedly in mainstream
mags which I reluctantly read to know what I'm up against-often these
unfortunately are quotes from HCP's.) So if you're in the mood for letter
writing....
