Another thing about "nurse-brain". I think what you see is the effects of being a "beginner" at BF on the continuum of "beginner to expert". Because BF is not the central part of a nurse's job, it's not high on her list of priorities. Her time span as "beginner" is much longer than those who are immersed in BF day in and day out. Brenner wrote a fascinating book about Beginner to Expert. Can remember the title off-hand. By reading it, we all would get a better understanding of where others are on the continuum and maybe be less critical and more "mentoring" to those on the beginning end of the BF knowledge spectrum.
