     What do you think of one-sided nursing if this mom is advised not to

The putting of a woman's choice to provide her infant with the only gold
standard in nutrition, is being classfied as  a "desire ... the surgeon and
her husband don't understand"... is it any wonder women don't breastfeed in
this country? Ugh. That said, in NYC here are two names I have heard
mentioned in terms of surgeons who are educated about breastfeeding:
James Rucinski, NY Methodist, Brooklyn, NY 718-780-3288
Deborah Axelrod, Beth Israel Med Ctr, 212-420-4332
I don't know how current these are, but good luck. :)
Judy LeVan Fram, Brooklyn, NY
