Dear Dr. Tieman,
Many good suggestions have come up. This publication, by the AAP's Task Force on Breastfeeding, contains other good ideas on supporting the choice to breastfeed:
http://www.aap.org/advocacy/bf/tensteps.pdf
It's called "Ten Steps to Support Parents' Choice to Breastfeed Their Baby," but it contains more than ten suggestions, as there are tips about implementing each step. Although it is an AAP publication, I think it would be useful to many types of healthcare providers.
Your patients are very lucky to have you!
