This is interesting. I just received from my supervisor yesterday a copy of an article from the Journal of Human Lactation (18(1), p. 56) called "Bottle-Feeding as a Tool to Reinforce Breastfeeding" by Dee Kassing, BS, MLS, IBCLC. It is apparently something that was sent to all the post-partum doulas in our program. I'm curious as to what other list members have thought of this article. regards, Beth perinatal educator -- /\/\ Beth Johnson / o o\ Cosmic Wonderer ( / ^^\) Springfield, MA USA \ M_M/ "Ruling a country is like cooking a small fish-- you have to handle it with care."--Lao Tzu *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
