>>Oh dear. I bet Lansinoh spent a slight fortune on a video to show and
tell:  -Put your fingers in the way so baby can't get a good mouthful
-Breastfeeding hurts in the early days -Let the baby just hang on, don't
bring them in close -Mothers who breastfeed are white, white white.
Mournfully, Dawn Kersula in southern Vermont USA ...and sarcastically
thinking that you can sell more Lansinoh if you sell a bad latch..... oh
dear.<<

Dear Colleagues - Not only do we have to be leery of Artificial Baby Milk
(ABM) companies and some pump companies, but now we have another.  Besides
the video, Lansinoh has put out a booklet on breastfeeding; it was reviewed
by the IBCLCs who work for the company.  Unsolicited, Lansinoh shipped me a
box of 50 to distribute to pregnant women and lactating women.  The booklets
had some incorrect information in the text and some of their pictures showed
terrible positioning/latch.  I called the CEO, pointed out the situation,
asked to be taken off their mailing list, and asked for a return label with
shipping fees paid.  Then I suggested to the members of ILCA affiliates in
the area to do the same with the booklets they had received.  Some of the
IBCLCs thought that was a good idea.  We also discussed that Lansinoh is
owned by Pigeon, a WHO Code violator.
