Subject: Giving talk to Daycare Providers
> Hi Sally,
>
> Here is the outline of a talk that I presented early childhood educators
> last fall. If you are interested, I would be happy to send you the
expanded
> version. For visuals, I brought along samples of a cup, eye dropper, and
> Foley feeder and a doll to demonstrate alternative feeding methods if
> necessary. I also showed them the page from The Breastfeeding Atlas that
> shows normal breastfeeding BM's. I demonstrated how a sling could be used
to
> help a baby accept a bottle. I brought a number of children's books
depicting
> breastfeeding as normal behavior and at the end of the presentation I gave
> each participant a notecard called "Michelle & Baby Phoebe" from the
> Attachments catalog which shows a little girl breastfeeding her doll.
>
> Hope this helps!
