I could see the argument that a male RN wouldn't have the requisite
experience to assist w/bfing but I never had a female nurse at a
hospital at which I gave birth have a positive breastfeeding experience
behind her. Also, aren't most hospital birthing moms trying to
breastfeed fresh from the experience of having a man with his arms
inside her up to the elbow? ;) Breastfeeding help I think would be
generally much less violative.
