 I showed him my copy of Hale and promised him one of his own. He immediately
 looked up a med. that had come in to question the previous weekend and said
 "So she didn't have to quit breastfeeding after all," I'm sad for that
 mom-happy for future patients.

  Cheryl, Please consider calling him up and informing him about relactation.
 His client has a right to know.

>The best part came at the end when he was telling me how supportive of
breastfeeding his office was. I stated "I know you are supportive of
Breastfeeding but what message do your patients get when you hand them a bag
of formula samples?" he stopped in the middle of the hallway with the most
introspective look I have ever seen.  I left him to think about it.<

Great response!  May I share it with my docs--we are still using their
handouts?  (At least now we are pulling out all their samples, removing the
coupons and looking into new bags)     I don't think it will be long before
we get rid of them completely and this quote may help with that endevor.
