Barbara,

You want to get your co-worker to get rid of breastfeeding materials which are
from ABM cos, and which are pretty old.  You have tried tackling her on the
first issue, without feeling any success.  Why not go for the second?

If you pick out some of the photos, I bet they will look really dated.  Maybe
you could take samples of her materials and yours, and get some of the women you
are teaching the classes to, to have a short focus group session, discussing
what they like and don't like.  You could record their comments (on paper, I
meant), have your co-worker present, or whatever.  If you have access to another
facilitator in your facility/health service that person could lead the group (to
absolve you of bias in reporting).  You don't present this as a way to get at
*her* materials, but as an example of good practice in terms of service to
patients -- you could winsome brownie points from higher ups if you are lucky??

I know this would be more work, but it could be quite satisfying.

Oh--you better be open to the idea that the focus group might not like some of
your stuff either--but maybe you will find out what does appeal to them and what
is most helpful in your area in terms of literature.

Just an idea.
