Hi all,

Just watched Law & Order. I guess it was loosley based on the FTT baby who
died in New York a couple years ago. It showed the "lactation counselor"
testifying and it was not a pretty sight. Basically, the death was partly
blamed on her.The mother was intimidated into breastfeeding and "signed a
contract" in the hospital saying she wouldn't give formula, even though she
was given free formula to take home.  Did anyone else see this? What
happened to the mother in the real case? TV programs like this will not
help us.
