Instead of saying "Are you planning to bf" why not say "Are you planning
to FEED your baby?" This is a quote from one of the presenters at the USWD
LLL confernece this year (sorry, I can't remember who--maybe K. Liles or K.
Detwyller?) I think it's fantastic. As a Benton County, OR. Healthy Start
consultant, I recently had to interject into the long-term nurse visiting
curriculum a section on feeding. They had completely forgotten the entire
topic for new parents! The steering committee of course said, "Oh, you
mean breastfeeding?" (knowing how "fanatical" I am....And, I said, "No,
why not say 'Are you planning to Feed your baby?' classes." The lightbulbs
all went on.
