Since taking the IBCLC prep course with Jan, Linda and Carole, I have started routinely recommending distilled water for formula preparation to the future parents (ie still pregnant) as well as the parents of my formula- fed infants. I think it is important for both safety to the child as well as to fulfill my own agenda...making formula feeding more difficult!! The other pediatricians in my group think I have lost my mind!!! So...I now present each of them with the "BREASTFEEDIG TIP OF THE DAY" when I arrive to work!! It is a very slow process of educating MDs as I'm sure I do not need to tell all of you!! *********************************************** 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.
