"Maybe you nursing physicians need to kibitz together and write a good
article on "how-to" for JHL or JAMA or some such journal :-) Such valuable
info on working and nursing needs more widespread distribution!"
Sincerely,
Pat in SNJ

I was just thinking something along these lines.  I just went into a room of
a primip. Spanish(some English, too) speaking mom who is breastfeeding.  She
told her nurse that her dr. ( a family practice doc) told her to "breastfeed
on one side, then supplement, breastfeed on the other, then supplement.
Until there is milk....because there isn't any now."(!) This is a woman that
came to me for some info when she had a new baby just a few months ago.  I
believe she is BF her own.  I would love for the above idea to come to
fruition.  I know that the Journal of Family Practice is a good place, too.
I love reading the entries of our lactnetters who are breastfeeding doctors.
It gives me hope!  But, when will these doctors here educate themselves on
such a very important subject?...and how DO you encourage them to do so?
I'm soo frustrated and it's so early in my day!!
