>>I explained that that I could provide some excellant handouts
on bf.
Pat,
Although it sounds like you have your own sources, and I sure hope
you can use your material, not the formula companies, this might help:
The Healthy Start program of Broward County's Public Health Unit
seems to get a lot of bf brochures from the State of FL HRS office.
Does your state supply bf info from HRS? Another brochure was from
Health Education Associates Inc. If you would like more info I can
ask the Breastfeeding Task Force's (of HM, HB) leader (who works for
Healthy Start) exactly where they get all their materials. Not from
formula companies!
Maybe even the breast pump manufacturers have something available.
It is a shame the Healthy Start supervisor feels the way she/he does.
Healthy Start is a preventative-type program, and bf definately prevents
a lot of things.
Good luck!
