I do a fair amount of "bottle consultations." And I'm always dispelling the same myths that you address here. Way to go! I feel I have a cyber partner now! 6 June Walker scottandjune@roadrunner.com Location: Cincinnati, OH Thursday 06/23/2011 20:25:05 CDT I'm a Lactation Consultant and found this book to be extremely helpful. I have very limited bottle experience and was so leary of bottles that I do everything to avoid them. Some mothers just can't avoid them and I was not much help to them. Thanks to you two, I have the information to make this balance more obtainable. I work in several settings, but would love to put together a power point to teach HCP's these methods. Would you share your pictures and information for educational purposes? Could you email me privately so that we can discuss this? Thanks you, June Walker, RN, IBCLC, LLLL 5 Tammy Lindsay, RN, IBCLC tlkidsrn@verizon.net Location: Newport News, VA Friday 10/01/2010 16:58:02 CDT Thank you for this book!! For years I have tried to incorporate a section on how to introduce the bottle into my prenatal breastfeeding classes, only to have mothers (and sometimes my colleagues) cringe. I tell them I am practicing in the real world where some Moms have to use bottles in order for their babies to thrive when they are at work, for babies who never latch well and medically have to be supplemented, etc. And I get at least one call a week from a panicked Mom heading back to work who can't get her baby to take a bottle. I am happy to see this in print so that I can pass this on to my Moms!! This will be an invaluable tool for years to come. 4 Ilene Fabisch agentlebeginning@gmail.com Location: MA Tuesday 08/24/2010 10:47:37 CDT I want to thank you for a wonderful presentation a la Mythbusting at the ICLA/TX conference. I also want to thank you for asking the questions you did that form the foundation for your book. You have provided the lactation community with an invaluable resource! 3 Gail Fiock RN, IBCLC fiockg@pamf.org Location: Fremont, Claifornia Tuesday 08/17/2010 14:09:04 CDT Thanks so much for this brilliant information. would love a copy of the book. My partner has said for years that if we must bottle feed the behavioral cues are so important to continue. We usually use Doc browns.. but you're so right that some others work better on other babies.. would love the list of slowest slow flow to more med slow flow.. I have found it's super unpopular to talk about bottling to protect bf behavior but I know it works sometime.. vs using an sns where baby is not latching well and sucking it like a straw!! Will look to order this on your home page.. thanks for your good work!! 2 Summer Stout-Bloyer Summerandbailee@yahoo.com Location: Twin Falls Idaho Friday 01/22/2010 14:18:43 CST As a lactation professional and breastfeeding mother, I have found the information in this book to be literally invaluable. There are issues addressed in this book that have not been otherwise addressed anywhere else; especially to this degree of accuracy and thoughtfulness. This is essential information that mothers need to know. This book will make breastfeeding mothers more successful and encourage them in every aspect of their breastfeeding relationship. We say in the lactation world, that when breastfeeding goals are not reached, it may be because of lack of support and lack of education. This book contains the essential tools needed to understand and overcome obstacles to breastfeeding that were previously not explored and not compiled in a way to make it an easy resource for mothers. Hurray for this book!!! At last, we have a unique guide that can help us as mothers; and professionals who help nursing mothers. This information is brilliant. Great job, Amy and Mindy. With gratitude, Summer Stout-Bloyer B.A., C.L.E.C. 1 Robyn Roche-Paull, IBCLC info@breastfeedingincombatboots.com Location: Virginia Beach Monday 01/04/2010 14:21:41 CST What a fantastic resource you have here. Thank you so much for writing this book (and website). I plan to link to your webpage from mine and will defintely be using your book as a reference for the military mothers that I work with.
