Literature for Childbirth Educators: for Kathy Bruce
As a childbirth educator (ASPO) and lactation educator
I would suggest you include articles from JHL (let them know such
a journal exists) and THE JOURNAL OF PERINATAL EDUCATION (a
refereed journal from CBEs).
Any appropriate materials for consumers and the LLLI FACTS ON
BREASTFEEDING 1996 WOULd be, in my opinion, very useful in
suggesting ways that they can promote breastfeeding. THe group of
childbirth educators I work with are usually grateful for new
information. They do seem to need help recognizing the disadvant-
ages of accepting materials from the ABM companies.
You have a great opportunity. Good luck!
