Sarah,
Contemporary Pediatrics is what is sometimes called a "throw-away"
magazine, that pediatricians receive free without having to pay for a
subscription. Probably you could find a local pediatrician who would give
you their copy. The full citation for the article that has been discussed
is:
Churchill, Robin B. and Larry K. Pickering. "The pros (many) and cons (a
few) of breastfeeding." Contemporary Pediatrics 1998;15(12):108-119,
December 1998.
It says in the publishing information on p. 2 that Frank Oski, MD, was the
founding editor. The current editor-in-chief is Julia A. McMillan, MD of
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD. Three cheers for her,
for making this the cover story. Two small, but nice, breastfeeding photos
accompany the article, one of a mom nursing outside in the garden beside
her watering can, obviously just taking a nursing break from her
activities, no big deal. (Baby could be positioned better, but the scene
is nice).
