I would like to ask a question of all the docs on Lactnet. Thanks, by the 
way, for your private responses to me. I have appreciated them.

I know those of us in the hospital environment do on occasion encounter 
the resistant doctor but more often a physician who just doesn't know much 
as far as the basics of breastfeeding management. I have found that while 
most are receptive to my information and want to learn, I am often 
wondering what would be the best venue for them to learn. It would be nice 
if I could steer them in the direction of some basic information.

As a physician, what suggestions could you offer as to how to best get 
some good basic information to these docs (in hopes that they will want to 
learn more)?

I have to say that one of our docs just went and took "the 40 hour 
course." She even told me it "wet my appitite to want to learn more."  

The AAP seems to be doing more and that is a good thing. Maybe hearing 
from their own academy will pique the interest of more and more 
pediatricians..

As physicians, if you have any more suggestions as to how we LC's can 
support the physicians in this, would you please throw suggestions my way.

Thanks,
Betsy Riedel RNC, IBCLC
Connecticut
