[...] Congratulations Jennifer on winning and on your pregnancy! Please email me by Tuesday, August 18, 2009, with the bra size and style (halter or bustier) you would like and please include your home mailing address. Also, since you mentioned your struggle with low milk supply the first time around, I hope you’ll pick up a copy of the very helpful book The Breastfeeding Mother’s Guide to Making More Milk. [...]

That’s what’s so sad, isn’t it Kate — that even if breastfeeding initiation rates are high, the exclusive breastfeeding rates are low because hospital staff are so quick to suggest formula. I know we don’t have the details of this case, and the first rule is always “feed the baby” — but it would be wonderful if this book were on hand so that supplementation (if truly necessary) could be done in a way that best preserves a mother’s ability to continue breastfeeding and build up her milk supply.

Looks like a great book! Someone just told me today that the nurses in the hospital said she wasn’t producing enough milk, so they just went ahead and gave her baby formula. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
