I'm glad you found a nice ped...but sometimes it's interesting to look
deeper into the literature for hidden messages...I don't know what those
particular brochures said but I've seen things like "When breastfeeding
isn't going well...." instead of "If breastfeeding isn't going well..."
or interesting wording to that effect.  Hidden messages can be carefully
crafted.  Don't mean to sound too negative, but...
