Hi Julie,

I was actually supplementing a baby at breast during rounds today while that 
was on TV. I was too busy to see most of it, but of course I attempted to 
reassure mom. Unfortunately, the part I did see was pretty much a vendetta 
against a "poor first time mom" who supposedly didn't know any better when 
her baby cried all day. The one comment about lactation was that mom had 
stopped going, saying that she went to a clinic that answered her questions. 
Anyone know the outcome of the show?
And yes, if you have seen the show and were greatly offended, you should 
write and let them know how sensationalized their portrayal was and what a 
disservice the show was to moms who will now be afraid to nurse their babies 
because of what they have seen.
