Dear Carol,

        (I'm a little behind in my reading)  I need a copy of your rant
reply letter ASAP.  I am dealing with a pediatric practise that is
positivly anti-breast.

        Baby is jaundiced, level went up to 20.  Baby was hospitalized,
under bili lights, NO B/F until bili down to 14.  I know, I know.....
the parents are beside themselves.  I have given them all I had on
jaundice, including an abstract of the Pediatrics article (Oct '94).
Anyway, we're dealing with this, bili is down to 15, so back to breast
soon.  (by the way, parents had taken my prenatal B/F class, and
remembered a great deal.  I've only taught 2 so far).

        So back to the pediatricians.  How can I reach these people?  Can
I pleeeeeeeeese have a copy of that form letter?

        (This is the same peds group that told the mom with yeast and
excoriated nipples last summer to put alcohol on them.  she didn't)
