Introducing an early bottle is one way to almost guarantee that a mother will have problems with breastfeeding and that her duration of breastfeeding will be cut short. I feel terrible for your patients who are relying on you, their doctor, for helpful advice and support because what they are getting is neither - what they are getting if this is the advice you are giving out is sabotage of their breastfeeding relationship. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
