"Who taught you what and when to feed your baby?" is a common question that is used in pediatric nutrition studies including breastfeeding. Usually the answers are their own mom, an older aunt, an older sister, or a neighbor as the primary source. Geez, I just love those "my neighbor told me...." responses! <g> As you can see, the primary source does not include LC, nurse, dietician, physician, baby book or whatever. I was wondering if any LC knows of any recent study showing that LC's and/or others are having an impact on bridging this serious gap in pediatric nutrition counseling?
