Hi!
Just a few tidbits. Dr Neifert has signed on to be a contributing
editor to Parenting Magazine. I look forward to some good
breastfeeding coverage.. They, in my opinion, are more
pro-breastfeeding than the other mainstream childrearing
magazines... like Child. This month's issue has an article about
things noone ever told you about pregnancy... Number 3 is about
"Breastfeeding isn't as natural as you think".... (UGH!) Although
the article mentions a few positive things (it can work, is
healthiest and a plug for lactation consultants), in general I
felt the tone was negative. The author says how badly it hurt,
how the baby never stops nursing and how she,like most women she
knew, resorted to the formula after a few weeks... UGH UGH UGH!
Finally, Am J OB/GYN has an article in this months issue about
breastfeeding success after reduction surgery. The article is
interesting. Thought it was interesting..
