Thanks everybody for all of your suggestions. I am currently researching all articles related to breastfeeding which are available. I have taken all advice and combined it. It may take me a couple of weeks but when I approach this instructor, I will be well armed and well educated. I will attempt to cut and paste and give you all an advanced preview of my upcoming letter to my instructor. Thanks again for all of the much needed advice and encouragement. Empowerement . . . what a wonderful word! Stephanie Stewart Future RN and LC
