Hi Nikki,
From your message dated 12th Nov.

"" When LCs take care of as much as possible, perhaps we are missing an
opportunity to let a dreadful situation be uncovered.
    Yes, we have injured and drugged babies. These babies won't breastfeed.
We need to make a loud noise about obstetric practices that result in babies
that can't do what they are born to do, instead of trying all sorts of 
tricks to
take care of the situation. Maybe if enough suckless babies were seen to be
the result of routine obstetrical practice, things might change?""

Oh, how I wish. But I would imagine that in today's world, there would only 
be more
babies offered substitutes, both for breastmilk, and for mom.

Usually optimistic........
