Health Ed. Associates, at one of their seminars, gave what I feel is "the best" way to initiate dialogue: "Would you like to be able to breastfeed your baby?" There is virtually no one who would say "no" to this, and when they answer "yes, but....", everything after the "but" tells you what their misconceptions, concerns, barriers, etc. are! I use this even on our postpartum bottlefeeding moms, "Would you have liked to breastfeed your baby?"--and have had a few "late converts" as a result. Carol in soggy St. Louis......
