Hello, wise ones.  I am learning more each day from Lactnet, and I thank all of you for sharing.

I have a situation with a client that I have not previously encountered, and I would like your advice on how to approach this matter.

I am the doula for a client due March 17th.  She is choosing natural childbirth.  She sent me a copy of her birth plan yesterday, and I was distressed to see the following section:

Feeding:
Breastfeed and Bottle Feed
I would like my baby fed on a schedule.

If you were working with this mother, how would you approach her about this?  I have never had a mother in 4 years put this on her birth plan!  I think she will sabotage her breastfeeding success with this statement - do you agree?

All suggestions welcome, offlist if you prefer.

Thanks,
Jennifer Davis, ICCE-CD, CD(DONA)
