My list of three for Julie Kissack's pharm student presentation:

1.  Human milk and manufactured baby milk are NOT equal/interchangeable
2.  Ditto
3.  Unless students are personally motivated to become *very*
knowledgable, there are lactation professionals (IBCLCs) to whom they
should refer their bf contacts for anything from answering casual
questions to serious bf complications.

For the drug presentation:
1.  Human milk and manufactured baby milk are NOT equal/interchangeable
2.  Respect a mother's desire to bf and work with her to find a
medication she can take and continue to breastfeed
3.  Understand the risks of substituting manufactured milk for mother's
own when making the decision about using a particular medication.
