ACOG ISSUES NEW  COMMITTEE OPINION ON BREASTFEEDING Last week the American
College of  Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) issued a committee 
opinion,  Breastfeeding: Maternal and Infant Aspects, published in this month's issue 
of  the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology.
You could have blown me over with a feather when one of the OB's on our  unit 
came looking for me to give me this document.  It was the copy sent to  him 
by ACOG and he said he knew that I would appreciate having it.  I was  just 
about to e-mail the medical librarian at the hospital to request a copy of  it.  
I made good use of it and immediately typed out and printed the  statement 
about sore nipples generally being caused by poor positioning and  latch.  It was 
put up on the breastfeeding bulletin board in our nurses'  breakroom as the 
"quote of the month."  For the "Best Practice Clinical Tip  of the month" I put 
up the sequential latching picture that our  colleague Diane Wiessinger has 
available in her materials that one can  purchase.
