Education is critical.  How is it that so many of today's physicians, 
pharmacists and other health care professionals do not have copies of 
Lawrence and Hale at their fingertips, at the very least?  Of course it should 
go without saying that a more complete lactation library would include Riordan 
(previous editions as Riordan & Auerbach), BAB, Genna Watson, Smith, Kroeger 
& Smith, Cadwell, and all the other texts that we hold dear.  

The Breastfeeding Section of the AAP states in their Fall 2008 online 
newsletter, "One final education strategy is to influence and support residency 
and medical school breastfeeding education, by establish [sic] a curriculum 
with supporting materials for residency and medical student rotations.  The 
Breastfeeding Promotion in Physician Office Practices, Phase III grant for 
pediatric residency curriculum development is nearly finished and ready to be 
released on our website."  

The members of the Breastfeeding Section of the AAP are saints among us.  
Pharmaceutical science needs some saints along these lines.
