My  question being, how do you begin to influence a mother that does not plan 
on  breastfeeding, given the multiple advantages that have been proven
for not  only the infant but the mother as  well?>>>>>>>.



Beth, 
 
You have a great start with the information and documentation that you  
already have to impart to expectant mothers. Give them the research based facts,  
including the hazards and risks of artificial baby milk feeding, and  encourage 
attendance at local LLL meetings to gain knowledge of the, umm, ..lets  call 
it "mother-based" facts.
