I was so glad to see Teresa mention Stephanie Casemore's book
'Breastfeeding Take Two' in response to Michelle's question on whether
anyone has done any work on this. Lynn mentioned counseling skills
and I agree that they. too, are essential for anyone providing
professional help to other people for anything that is comparable to
what we do with breastfeeding.
Stephanie's book is about the reactions to breastfeeding failure with
an eye to helping women have a better experience next time around. I
think most of us would benefit from reading it, to be able to better
help women we are working with. I would also recommend it for women
who like to read their way to enlightenment. Not everyone takes in
knowledge or experience through the written word, so if you are the
one helping such a woman, you might be more of a help to her if you
had read the book yourself. And, if you went into your work because
of your own lousy experience, I would really recommend reading it so
you can take control of how that experience affects the way you
practice.
