Ruthy, Karen and Lechia and ALL,

You are right! and your ideas are great!  WE MUST continue to educate the
Dads right along with the Moms as they have been shown in several studies
to have far more impact on the mothers ultimate "success" at bf than all
of us combined!!!  They are FAR ahead of med prof's, LLLL's, friends,
mothers etc. in terms of their influence on the Mom.    I'll mention just
one:  Freed, G, Fraley, K., and Schanler, R.: Attitudes of Expectant
Fathers Regarding Breastfeeding, <Pediatrics>, 1992, 90:224-227.  OR read
medela's <Rental Roundup> Vol. 10, No. 3, Summer 1993 article by Barbara
Wilson-Clay.
