She started out introducing herself, then asked for a show of hands who had breastfed? Usually about one or two students at most, often none. Then, who feels passionate and very well informed about breastfeeding? No hands. Then she said, well, if you ever encounter a mother with problems associated with breastfeeding, will you *please* refer them to someone who *is* well-informed and experienced in breastfeeding. Dear Friends: This suggestion is fabulous; the way it was presented caught the audience's attention and was such a logical and helpful thing to say. No one could feel offended or resistant at such a comment, and I bet it was remembered! warmly, Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE,CIMI Adjunct Faculty, Union Institute and University, Lactation Program Film Reviews Editor, Journal of Human Lactation www.breastfeedingalwaysbest.com *********************************************** 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 email list is powered by LISTSERV (R).
