Interesting point. So then what makes a doc Bf friendly? ...someone good to
refer Bf families to?

We informally know some of the more Bf knowledgable and supportive docs in
our areas, but,

Seems it would be helpful to have available a list of maternal-infant health
docs/HCPs/practices who are not in cahoots with formula companies, do not
associate with, do not market for, do not let into their offices, do not
accept from those companies money or misc marketing garbage disguised as
gifts, who attend Bf conferences, who get high marks in Bf knowledge &
support from their pts, ...what else?

 ...does or could ILCA or LLLI provide a Simple program for a *ILCA/LLLI Bf
seal of approval*, ...for example the local ILCA affiliate board or the local
LLL chapter board could do a simple eval, .... then we would know who to
recommend to all those hundreds of expectant and new parents that we see
every month.
