Wow Jean - what a coup! When we have done the BFHI courses one of the most interesting sessions has been when the participants (students?) are each allocated a mother in the postpartum ward and asked to go through the breastfeeding history forms with her (it helps if the mother has already had another baby or two). They come back from their one-to-one interviews with their eyes like saucers, and during the next session each paticipant has a chance to high-light the most interesting aspects of each "case". Suddenly all the previous sessions take on a whole new meaning, as they relate in shocked tones, "My client gave her last baby porridge at *two months*!", (collective gasp) or "My client was giving the baby tap-water because she thought the baby was thirsty" (this is not an exaggeration - it happened!) What a challenge for you Jean. Diane, where are you? I think Jean needs some tips about the positioning/attachment sessions from your travelling latching kit! Best wishes, and let us know how it goes.
