I hope she will, too. I have to say, the worst breastfeeding and childbirth
information I have received is via my nursing instructor in my nursing
program. It's a battle to sit on my hands and not correct nearly everything
she says about the dangers of childbirth and the difficulties of
breastfeeding. (I do correct some things, gently, and with resources,
though...)

It is sad, because as the only "successful" breastfeeding mother/lactation
educated person in the program, I am the only one with current breastfeeding
or baby information. A sad case in point, a fellow student nurse
congratulated herself on feeding a 12-hour old infant a 2 ounce bottle of
AIM last night, after another student nurse could "only get her to take 1/2
ounce." Sadder still? The nursing instructor said the bottle of formula
could stay, at room temperature, in the bassinet, for at least 2 hours with
no detrimental effects.

Best wishes,
Heather "Sam" Doak



<<Esther Grunis also has an amazing way of disarming staff who are
compelled to attend her training sessions. I hope she will post about it
in detail.
