What a good idea. A lot of times the breastfeeding moms in my office are the
first ones the medical students have ever seen nursing. Some of the older,

about breastfeeding. Old quote from one of our past nurses:"You always know
when it one of Dr. Hertz's patients... they always have a boob hanging out!"
