 Jane Bradshaw's post about Dr. Skelton-Forrest's approach reminds me of my
 own mother's story of how she became an advocate of breastfeeding. In 1928
 (or so) she was working as an aide in a maternity hospital in Southern
 California. There was a formidible maternity nurse who would appear on the
 ward wielding a large pair of scissors. "Who is planning not to breastfeed?"
 the nurse would growl, "because if you aren't going to use them, I might as
 well cut them off." >>

Margery,
A large pair of scissors . . .  yes, they could fit into my home visit bag. .
. . and at the hospital . . .let's see, yes I can think of a good drawer in
the nurses station. . . .they won't fit in my lab coat pocket . . .maybe just
carry them around on top of my notebook as a "gentle" reminder.    Now would
individual or group sessions work the best?  Peer pressure works the best. .
