That would be Betty Crase (with an "a" in the middle), not Crose, and the
email address likewise is [log in to unmask]

Also, I do not believe Betty is either an R.N. or an IBCLC.  She has a
degree in Chemistry and was for many years the director of the Center for
Breastfeeding Information at La Leche League International.  Betty is a
wonderful wonderful person!

I do believe that the AAP has been overwhelmed with requests and is no
longer accepting any more pediatrician's offices at the time, but you might
be able to get on a waiting list.
