Apologies for not responding to this sooner, I put it to one side to 
answer later!  Am now ploughing through a pile of 'to do' stuff.

The handout that I'm sure you're referring too, as I'm sure I sent it to 
you Phyllis, is a Nursing Matters handout prepared for NM by Pamela 
Morrison.  It is 9 pages long, and was written to support a Mum who was 
in trouble with UK NHS services, as they claimed baby was being underfed 
at the breast, and wished to force formula supplementation under threat 
of Child Protection procedures.  To combine it with another thread, the 
Mum decided to use donated milk rather than formula, and turned up to 
see the Child Protection Paeditrician with both the handout, and the 
blood screening resuls of her two donors.  The handout both gives 
information and advice on findinf the cause of low weight gain, and 
gives strategies for dealing with it whilst preserving breastfeeding 
where possible.

All was deemed well with this dyad, in the end.  :-)

The handout has been the single most requested resource I have, and 
anyone can have a copy of it, and pass it on, as long as it cites Pamela 
as the source.  Anyone wanting a copy, just email me.

As an aside, Pamela is probably updating the handout, prior to her 
giving a 90 minute special presentation on Low Weight Gain & The 
Exclusively Breastfed Infant, at the upcoming LLL GB National 
Conference,  in October 2011, here in the UK.  So I'm sure she'll be 
happy to receive any feedback from those who have used the said 
handout.  The conference is concentrating on infection and breastfeeding 
hence Marian Tompson being the keynote speak with her "Another Look" hat 
on, as she'll be discussing HIV & breastfeeding.  This is, of course, 
why Pamela is also speaking - on HIV & Breastfeeding in the UK.  But if 
you've got her in one place, and this handout is so popular and so 
useful, go for two bangs for one buck.  :-)

As the instigator for the handout, I'd also be grateful for anyfeedback 
on how Health Professionals react to it, when a Mum or a supporter, 
hands it over.  So far, the reaction has been pretty positive, no doubt 
due to Pamela's professionalism in citing the research, so completely, 
and so clearly.

But if anyone simply wants a copy - email me.  :-)
