Just wanted to update the group how our ( another LC and myself )
breastfeeding update talk went to a large number of OB clinicians.
The theme of the talk was "what's  new in breastfeeding".  We meet with this
group every year and we want to keep their attention and hope they come out of
the meeting with some valuable information.  We covered the new AAP guidlines,
Tom Hale's book ( and I know he is not on-line to appreciate this), the HMO I
work for purchased his book for every OB office (there are 14) and each on-
call room. We also covered tx of sore nipples and candadisis.  The attention
graber was passing a tray of almost everything a mom is asked or has heard she
should put on her nipples. I used coffee stirrers to encourage them to taste
(most declined) but everyone at least smelled what we ask the babies to smell
and taste.  We received some very positive feedback.
Thanks to everyone who sent me ideas.
