Jennifer, I appreciate your thoughtful replies. I can see how in my haste, I
have not communicated my ideas as clearly as I had hoped. Nevertheless,
what I am really proposing is a continuum of care for every child-bearing
woman from third trimester until weaning.
This would not in anyway negate peer support. I think it would greatly
increase it because more women would breastfeed and more would breastfeed
longer.
This would not in anyway negate those wonderful lactation specialists who
know more than I do about induced lactation, premies, reductions, cancer,
hormones and such. Matter of fact, like peer support, I think they all would
get busier because more women would breastfeed...you get the idea.
Also, I didn't mean to indicate that my idea would follow midwifery or medical
METHODS. I just meant to indicate that we already *have* a medical system
and most of us are working within it by default; we need to find a way within
what we already have, to best serve the needs of EVERY child bearing woman.
Blessings!
