Hi Judy - You were writing about a different subject but it reminded me
about the term "Breastfeeding Medicine" and how that did not appeal to me.
As far as I know, there is no such thing as breastfeeding medicine, so I
prefer the term "Breastfeeding Science" because there is science supporting
our professional practices.  The distinction can affect how healthcare
providers perceive breastfeeding; it is so much more than just nutrition.
Thank you for reminding us.
