Dear Friends: I recently had a conversation with a LC who works with a large population of Korean women. She was lamenting the fact that many of her clients will not breastfeed in the hospital, although they will exclusively breastfeed once Lactogenesis II has started. This is because of a negative view of colostrum. She noted that her clients had small breasts and very long nipples, and that there was never any problem with nipple confusion. warmly, Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE, CIMI Maternal-Child Adjunct Faculty Union Institute and University Film Editor, Journal of Human Lactation Support the WHO Code and the Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
