The Globe and Mail is hosting a Q & A session with breastfeeding expert Dr. Jack Newman this week. Just leave a comment on this Globe and Mail article by 11 a.m. EDT on Thursday, May 3, 2007, and check back to read Dr. Newman’s replies on Friday, May 4, 2007 after 2 p.m. EDT.
Dr. Newman is a renowned pediatrician who currently works at a breastfeeding clinic based at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. He wrote The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers Revised and Updated: The Most Comprehensive Problem-Solving Guide to Breastfeeding from the Foremost Expert in North America with Teresa Pitman, Executive Director of La Leche League of Canada. I’m looking forward to seeing both of them at the La Leche League conference I’ll be attending later this month!

















Dear Dr Newman.
I am an IBCLC and currently searching for information or testimonials on weaning from the supplementary nursing system.
Once the line is introduced mothers and babies do seem to become dependent on it and knowing the best way to remove it from the breastfeeding situation seems to be as elusive as the scarlet pimpernel.
Could someone assisit me please to help these mothers? Thankyou.
