Rachel, I can understand how you feel!  Two months ago, a journalist
from a parenting magazine (which belongs to a leading newspaper) phoned
me to ask if I would agree to answer some basic questions about
breastfeeding for an upcoming issue.  I agreed and even sent her the
answers in writing so there wouldn't be any "misunderstandings."  I had
forgotten all about the article until I began getting phone calls from
mothers.  I picked up a copy of this month's edition and nearly
fainted.  The article was full of errors.  Instead of
"women who take medication for pp depression or who have had previous
breast surgery should consult an LC..."  it read:  "Women who have pp
depression or breast reduction surgery are forbidden to breastfeed..."

I'll never agree to another interview unless I see the article before it
goes to press.
