So what this midwife is practicing is "breastfeeding a la personal
experience."  And what if lactation consultants practiced midwifery "a la
personal experience?"  It's bad enough when the physicians and nursing staff
do it in the hospital -- worse when a MIDWIFE who should KNOW better (yes,
I'm shouting through clenched teeth) does it!!  The ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH knows
no bounds.

In great frustration -- Jan in Wheaton -- still cloudy on the outside, but
cloudier still in my heart.
