Debbie, I have done that with pediatricians but they would not take me up on
it.  I would give each of them a bottle of ready-to-feed ABM so that when
they opened it the full obnoxious smell would hit their nostrils and they
were so nauseated by it that they could not drink it.  It made a few of them
get the message but they still recommended ABM (instead of an IBCLC) when
breastfeeding did not go well or the mom did not want to.  :-(  I wonder how
the ABM-feeding moms feel when they smell it.  It must be hard for those
women who wanted to breastfeed but could not; I don't know about the women
who choose not to.

Warm regards,

Lee
