Jan DeCoopman's book Breastfeeding Mangaement for Health Professionals is a
good resource for ways to alternatively feed babies, with pros and cons of
each method.  I personally think it involves - what are you trying to do -
get calories in baby, retrain suck, etc.  Then choose method that will least
interfere with transition back to breast.  Pat in SNJ

Patricia, are the articles really from 1948?    Wow!  How did you
find copies?  Where can we purchase a copy of Jan deCoopman's book?
Thank you.
