Along the lines of hope for docs, one of our pediatric hospitalists (who 
has little lactation experience, no personal experience, not to mention 
little lactation knowledge)announced to me just last evening that she is 
going to actually take the 40 hour lactation course!I have been talking 
this up to her since she joined us over two years ago. She is 
uncomfortable when the nurses know more than she does, so............. 
Talk about a step in the right direction. I was pleased to see this small 
step! Maybe the AAP's renewed interest in the benefits of breastmilk will 
encourage other physicians to pursue additional training in this area.

So,I do think that we LC's are making inroads in small steps.We just have 
to comtinue to take it slow and be patient. That's okay. Slow and steady 
wins the race.
