<But  Nikki - isn't that a violation of the code - to show a  mother
bottle-feeding in a class?

Dear Friends:

   The classes I was speaking of are  for healthcare professionals.

   I think that the Code is about the marketing of  breastmilk substitutes,
not about what is taught in classes.

   warmly,
   Nikki>

I struggle with the issue of teaching paced bottlefeeding, bottles, etc. in
the newborn care classes I teach.  OTOH, I don't want to put bottles into
their hands before they've even had their baby in their hands.  OTOH, I see
*so* many babies struggling to breathe, over-feeding with bottles,
aspirating, etc., etc.  Most parents don't even have a clue.  Their baby is
arching, struggling to get away from the flow, and they just keep that
nipple in the baby's mouth!  If it wasn't so pervasive, I wouldn't even
think of demonstrating a different way.

Looking forward to hearing how others deal with this.
