Hello, fellow Lactnetters: Some of you are aware of the work that I am doing on Lactation Management and the tools I am developing for Lactation Consultants to use to help their clientele identify personal barriers to continued breastfeeding. Many of you have already contributed in various ways to these tools, and know about the pilot study that is getting underway on this topic. Anyway, as part of this process, I have developed a tool that is meant to be used for follow up once a woman's barriers have been identified. Within this tool are a series of questions that the LC uses to encourage conversations between her and her client, and resources that she can suggest to her client for further information and education to help the client overcome a particular barrier. It is my intention to have this resource be as thorough as possible, and that is why I am posting today. There are a myriad of breastfeeding and lactation books 'out there', and most of us have a number of them in our own personal libraries. I wonder if any of us has them all? I would like my follow-up tool to include as many as possible, for the simple fact that I do not want to unfairly represent any one author or producer, and I want the LC who will use this tool in the future to be able to suggest appropriate resources that they already have on hand. I myself cannot possibly reference on my own each and every book/resource that has been published, that would take me months and cost a lot of money! So, I would like to invite Authors, video Producers, and Website Owners to ensure that their resource is included in my tools by referencing their works for me and forwarding the information which I will cut and paste into my follow up tool. Alternatively, seeing as how most LC's/doctors/nurses, etc. who are also authors are very busy people, if you just do not have the time for this, but would like to ensure that your resources are included, you are welcome to send me a copy of your work and I will have my co-researcher cross-reference it for you. If you are wanting to find out more about the pilot study, please visit www.latchon.org <http://www.latchon.org/> and click on the link for the project titled "Eliminating the Barriers". If you would like to have your published work included in this project, please email me directly through Lactnet or at [log in to unmask] and I will send you a copy of the tools and give you more information on how to ensure that your works are included. I guess I need to include a disclaimer here: Currently I have no financial interest here as this project is costing me out of pocket.but.I suppose that the potential exists in the future for some sort of book to be published or some sort of income to be made from the tools I am developing.or, maybe that is just wishful thinking! ;~> Blessings!
