I have a co-Leader friend who used to give a lecture to medical students
during their paediatrics block. She started out introducing herself, then
asked for a show of hands who had breastfed? Usually about one or two
students at most, often none. Then, who feels passionate and very well
informed about breastfeeding? No hands. Then she said, well, if you ever
encounter a mother with problems associated with breastfeeding, will you
*please* refer them to someone who *is* well-informed and experienced in
breastfeeding.
Dear Friends:
This suggestion is fabulous; the way it was presented caught the
audience's attention and was such a logical and helpful thing to say. No one could
feel offended or resistant at such a comment, and I bet it was remembered!
warmly,
