Hi. If I did this correctly, I am now writing to introduce myself to the rest
of lactnet. I am a pediatrician in New Jersey who is very interested in
promoting breastfeeding. I am currently running a project to increase
breastfeeding rates in our local community health center. To date we have
gone from 36% to 51% initiation. I am currently also nursing my third son
(age 8 months). My other serious breastfeeding interest is in educating
physicians to "at first do no harm" when it comes to lactation. Looking
forward to hearing from anyone.
Sincerely,
--
