Many of our clients are now being told that they will receive a "shot of
Pitocin" immediately postpartum.  They are told it is mandatory.  I recall
discussing this before, but I'm having trouble finding anything in the LACTNET
archives.  I'm attempting to determine what, if any, affect this has on the
initiation of breastfeeding.

Thanks in advance for your help.
