Have you seen one of the new pamplets from LLLL.  It is #75 - Common
Breastfeeding Myths by Lisa Marasco, BS, IBCLC.  It is wonderful!  It has
24 common breastfeeding myths the facts and references for everything!

I gave my ped a copy and she was thrilled.  She also going to be at the LLL
Physcians Conference (YEAH!!!).

You can order it through LLLI - let me know if you need the number or more
info.
