CookieMonster - That is fantastic!! So they should too, but brilliant that they have now seen the benefits! Good on you!

Holly - I really think it is the individual MCHNs. Mine aren't young, but they seem to be up with all the latest research and really tend to be forward thinking. I haven't had any problems with them, even with Jett being small my MCHN looks at him as an individual and hasn't batted an eyelid about his lack of weight gains compared to the charts.

But certainly if you feel you aren't getting the support from your MCHN tell her to check it out with the Australian Breastfeeding Association. They recommend it!
