in response to recent thred and many before it, where we are all about the 'info' HCP's have given us re bf,
seems an idea to have a fairly comprehensive 'myth busting' and informative collection of information that we each can download or print off to give to any HCP's we come across who know F all about bf.

mears/tiktok/hunker anyone else in the know... if you could post links here (or on a new more obvious and catchily titles thread, easily searchable in archives) which might be Fit For this Purpose... it would be a good idea to spread awareness, no?

i mean we all spot it for the bullshit it is, but possibly countless other women are being influenced by HCPs talking utter shite to them...

this sounds like a good idea, but I imagine would get a very lukewarm response from the aforementioned HCPs....

...although my GP was very interested in The Breastfeeding Network's thrush leaflet I waved under his nose and asked if he could have a copy, prior to prescribing the correct thrush busting dose of fluconazole

lukewarm? who gives a shit?

i dont particularly want to stand around while they read it, but i think tactfully dropping off an envelope stuffed full of info and links to further info and reliable sources/organisations to doc surgery with specific uninformed doctors name on it... is a good idea!
they read it or they dont... but nowt to lose imo.
