Hi Marianne,
No stones but I would want to know that my work was not going to be used to 
assist marketing that was going to breach the Code...that would be a deal 
breaker.

Dear all,

Against the stream of comments here, I sent a mail to Medela today, saying 
that I feel their brochures are not bf-friendly.
I offered my editorial expertise to improve them... and told them I want to 
be paid for that on an hourly basis!
Yes, I've asked Medela to pay me to contribute to the process of improving 
their documentation and work on changing attitudes.
Don't laugh: I remain full of good hope and trust in other people and in a 
willingness to learn as long as the tone is right.
Who's gonna throw the first stone at me...? ;o)

Warmly,

Marianne Vanderveen IBCLC, Netherlands (curious as to whether Medela will 
accept the offer or rule me out as ridiculously bold... ;-) And yes, Rachel, 
WAY, WAY too much stuff is sold on the one hand and way too little on the 
other, as many women might have returned to full breastfeeding, had they 
used the right equipment along with OF COURSE good quality 
counselling/consulting that I intend to 'sell' as a pplc)
