Hi. I am going to be lecturing to childbirth educators in the near future.
They would like to know the latest research that is avail to support bf.  I
think they all feel a little sheepish...don't want to push too hard for bf,
don't want to offend those who do not want to. BF is taught within the
series of childbirth classes.

I told the person , at length, that I was not going to approach this lecture
from the point of view of defending bf.  I thought that the tables oughta be
turned around...let formula be on the defense, and those who promote
it...Breastfeeding is tried and true,..and I cannot say that about formula.
As I spoke, I could tell that the woman's mouth was hanging open....and then
she said "Heh, you're right.".

Does anyone have any suggestions of literature to bring to this lecture? I
would appreciate it. I got a long list off yesterday...but am not sure that
there are not other things that would be helpful to the idea that bf needs
no documentation.
