Hi all, Two interesting developments. One of the LC's at one of the Modesto hospitals (the one where I am not vice chair) approached me yesterday. She (and the postpartum nurse manager) is eager to have me do a talk for the pediatric staff on breastfeeding. I raised this to the chair of the pediatrics Dept at this hospital and got a less than enthusiastic response. As I was walking out of conference yesterday at this hospital, I ran into the three neonatologists (who cover at both hospitals in Modesto). They congratulated me on becoming vice chair of pediatrics at the other hospital. One of them then quipped: "Now you wont be able to talk about breastfeeding or bonding for the next two years." Getting ready for a very bumpy ride...
