Heather -- where is this?  What is it -- a book?  Article?  Series of
articles?  How can I get hold of it?

Jan, this is a book done by the Stationary Office here in the UK (govt
publisher).  It came out at the end of Sept last year and is the result of a
systematic review of  the literature world wide which would be relevant to
the UK (west) which is relevant to women who have started breastfeeding.
Mike Woolridge and Mary Renfrew are two of the authors of the review.  It is
a GREAT resource, I have been quoting it non-stop since Sept last year, and
we have bought it for all the trainers in our organisation.  To me, the key
notion from the book is that breastfeeding needs to be painfree and
effective.  Sounds axiomatic, but read the book and you realise how far we
are from adhering to these simple precepts.

I don't know how you get in the US -- here we order from the Stationary
Office,  or from Amazon.co.uk -- have you checked US amazon?
