Having not seen this article, I may be speaking out of turn. My concern about the mention of bottle teats (any kind, regardless of their redeeming features) by an LC implies a degree of marketing of products. When this impression is left, what distinguishes LCs from other caregivers who give out all kinds of samples of baby gifts? Is that really what LCs want mothres/readers to remember? Perhaps the author(s) could share some informationa bout what was actually written, and how it was presented. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% "We are all faced with a series of great %% %% opportunities brilliantly disguised as %% %% impossible situations" - definition of a %% %% lactation consulting service. %% %% Kathleen G.
