Okay, you're gonna love this one (especially all the RNs out there). I had a doctor say to me that there was no high quality research on bf. I said "WHAT?" He then elaborated that all the research conducted on lactating women was by nursing masters students (as in RNs getting masters degrees). Yes, I could have jumped all over him for negating the value of nurses performing research since they probably had more training then he did, but I took a different tact. Well, after taking a deep breath and smiling I hit him with my concealed weapon that I always carry...a few of the LLLI BF Fact Sheets-including the 1997- and a Breastfeeding Abstracts. I then sat next to him and went over all the journals listed and the degrees that the various researchers had. After a half and hour, he apologized and said that he obviously was misinformed. One down, 495,000 in the US to go (I'm assuming a small percent like the MDs on LN are already up to speed). : )Chris Hafner-Eaton, PhD, MPH, CHES, IBCLC email: [log in to unmask] : ) : )HSR & Health Educational Consultant voice/fax: 541 753 7340 : ) : )LLLLLLLLLLLLL**CHANGE THE WORLD, NURTURE A CHILD!**LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL : )
