Denise, I was just asked by one of my non-online friends, an IBCLC
working as a maternity nurse, to post a similar question. Seems one of
the physicians at our small hospital is so obsessed with weight gain
that some mothers are quitting breastfeeding before even leaving the
hospital because of the stress and pressure this doctor causes. My
friend is also looking for suggestions. Please post any answers to
Denise to the whole list so I can see them too. Thanks.
