Has anyone created a reprint or handout based on the Kassing method for
bottle feeding breast-fed babies - or a handout containing similar
information?  If so, are you willing to share it?  Or is the information
available on-line somewhere?  I can copy the article to give to clients,
but I think a brief hand-out version would be helpful.

I have a mom who is workign full time and breastfeeding her 5.5 month old
baby.  Her baby is doing the standard 5 month distractibility stuff, but to
an extreme.  She also is dealing with nipple blebs and pain.  She
specifically asked me for ideas about how her husband can give the bottle
in a way that would support breastfeeding best.  It seems to me that the
Kassing method might be wise in this situation, since baby *is* going to
get bottles during the day.

I worked with another mom today who's first two children "self-weaned" at 9
months.  She really doesn't want that to happen with this 3d baby, and I am
hoping she follows my advice to switch to a sippy cup, instead of a
bottle.  But I would like to share the Kassing method with her as well, for
those times she does choose a bottle.  Thanks in advance for any
suggestions or resources, and if such a handout doesn't exist, I may need
to create one!  Is D. Kassing on Lacnet?
