Leanne,
 
    Amen!  We all know the joy of the mandatory  bottle after every feed.  
The concept of just supplementing until the milk  comes in.  And gee--why don't 
breastfed babies measure up to  those 1950 baby weight charts.  Oy!
 
    I have a chuckle.  You know those little black  and white designs 
developed by Susan Ludington- Ho to stimulate baby brain/sight  development?  One of 
my new mom's told me what a nurse told her in the  hospital, and I just had to 
crack up.  One of them is just a circle with a  black hole in the middle, and 
this mother asked the nurse what it  represented.  The nurse told her that if 
her nipple was larger than the  circle in the middle--that she would be 
unable to breastfeed.   It is  amazing what is out there.

So  Debbie how do we get the peds and obs to understand the issues they  
initiate by providing conflicting  information?   Will the  docs in Florida 
or US 
ever get it?
