The things that were covered were full of half truths as well as blatantly wrong information >> My daughter Jill will graduate (finally) from nursing school (BSN) next Saturday -- Praise the Lord! She, and the three classes before her all got excellent instruction in breastfeeding 'cuz the school gave me two hours to teach the students. The MCH book they used was abysmal in the information it gave. The students after Jill's OB experience get 5 weeks for OB, 5 weeks for peds, and bf is hardly mentioned. No time. Give me a break. These kids aren't going to know squat about how to really help a mom, and they will then learn poor information from the RNs and pediatricians that they work with should they ultimately go into OB. It's very sad. Jan B.
