One of our clerks is trying to get pregnant and saw a doctor in an adjoining area. We have had a hard time talking our clerks into breastfeeding. Mostly we end up checking these little one's ears constantly. Our office is full of pictures of breastfeeding, we run two bulletin boards a year, give a quilt away monthly at WIC, make slings for breastfeeding moms, so they get the information. But it has been a struggle. So this clerk had asked the doctor about thing she needed to be doing for pregnancy planning. He asked her if she planned to breastfeed, she said she hadn't decided. He said to her, "If you are not going to breastfeed, you will have to find a new doctor." She was taken aback. I got his name quickly for referral purposes. So maybe we will make a bit of progress here in time, although the hospital lactation consultant and I get discouraged.
