Dear Dr. Victoria:

In your previous post you noted "The American College of Ob/Gyn does
make a statement that BCP's may decrease supply, so bf patients should
be cautioned about this if they want to use BCP's for contraception.
Unfortunately, some docs have taken this to mean that they can use them
for oversupply."

If you are a member of ACOG, could you write a commentary, editorial, or
whatever for either their journal, newsletter, or website addressing
this issue for all the other OB/GYNs to see?  This might help to change
this practice.  Something similar sent to the Family / General
Practitioners might be helpful, too.

I think some journals accept Case Studies.  Maybe this would be a more
'believable' or 'scientific' mode to transmit the info?

Thanks for your efforts!
