I had the same concerns over the past year about how to ask about feeding plans. I used to say, "Do you plan to breastfeed or use formula?" but hated the implication of equal billing!! Now I simply ask, "Do you have any questions about breastfeeding?" Most mothers either: a) Do, and ask. b) Can't think of any immediately, but will write them down and ask next visit. c) State they plan to use formula, and usually say why, which gives me an opportunity to debunk myths and offer support if necessary. I feel better with this approach as it emphasizes the norm, but would love to hear of other ideas, and of comments on this approach. TIA. P.S. I'm NO MAIL for a few weeks so please cc. private E-mail. thanks Diana
