Hi all! This is my first post. I am a family practice doc in Rutland,
Vermont and recently became the doc member of our local "Breast Feeding
Support Network". One of the projects we are working on is a monthly
Fax to all the MD's in town who come in contact with people who are or
might someday be breast feeding. We are trying to use this means to
fact-by-bf-fact bring up everyone's knowledge about breastfeeding-(and
thereby have them become better advocates!) Our first fact just dealt
with reminding everyone about healthy babies 2000 goals. Our second
one is going to deal with how people make the decision to breastfeed
prenatally and how much the pregnant woman's health care provider can
influence this decision. Does anyone have a good reference for us to
cite??? Please e-mail me with it.
Have enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts-but really having trouble
staying caught up!;)
