My point  was: we don't want to cram so much stuff onto
breastfeeding mothers about  what they eat that they decide it isn't worth
the trouble to  breastfeed.

Dear Friends:
    I wonder if "cramming so much stuff" in  general is a reason the
breastfeeding class of the childbirth series has  fewer couples than the first few
classes. Think about it for a minute. Do  bottle-feeding mothers take a
bottle-feeding class? No. However, there is a  breastfeeding class. So which method of
infant feeding looks  easier?
    The notion of having a class about infant feeding the same  night as the
tour sounds appealing as a bit of a manipulation to keep the class  attendance
high, at least in the States.
    warmly,
