Isn't it our responsibility to give patients correct information whether they like it or not? They can always choose to ignore the info. But I think that they need to hear the best information at least once. Laura Hart This is just a question of the way you look at it, but I like to think that people in new situations don't know what they need to know. So information should be presented in a supportive way, starting from the place the mother is right now. As in "I didn't know this when I started breastfeeding, but..." or "Recently, people have found out that... works really well...." and so on, that is, starting from the assumption that it isn't because they have to "be told whether they like it or not" but rather "they *deserve* to be given the support and information they need." In other words, every mother and baby (o.k. every person, I just focus on the important players in this business...) deserves the best.
