Am I being overly critical or sensitive by hesitating to distribute this new
DADDY sheet with some really worthwhile information for dads like a list of
sweet things he can do for his breastfed baby...  A pad of these sheets was sent
to me by Playtex Mother's Own Milk program but under "Taking care of mom"
list there are two items troubling me -- one is "Breastfeeding is hard work.
Make it easy on her.  Take on chores you usually don't do."  Good advice, yes,
but the "hard work" part is insidious, I think.  And then, last on that list
"Later on, you can feed your baby with breastmilk in a nurser, but wait at least
four weeks before introducing a nurser so your baby will have a chance to get
completely comfortable with breastfeeding."  Wow, a whole four weeks!   Any
thoughts on this attractive new handout?  Thanks, Ann Conlon-Smith, IBCLC, LLLL
