Mediawatchers and lactnuts: A colleague (thanks, Roseann!) sent me an article entitled "Management of breast-feeding" by Shadigian, Van Bonn, and Cook in The Female Patient, June 98, vol 23. I am not familiar with this publication, but this article is the 2nd of a 2-part series; I have not seen the first one. It is a positive piece encouraging prenatal bf promotion and addressing management of common concerns. I don't have an address to write. If anyone does, please send it to me. There was only one part that I did not particularly like: Under "adequate milk supply" it states, "If the milk supply is inadequate, the physician must determine what is interfering with milk production. It is important to review the positioning of the infant at the breast (including an assessment of latch-on) and investigate the possibility of inadequate maternal fluid intake as well as maternal fatique and tension, which could interfere with let-down." p. 50 The ref for this passage is the Breastfeeding Answer Book by Mohrbacher and Stock, 1991. Am I being too picky? What do others think of this? It made it sound like these are the 3 things that would likely be the culprits in inadequate supply. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
