    Default LLL responded to the new AAP recs

    Rather scathing, which is no surprise. They criticize the lack of recognition of pacifier use as a substitute for nursing (rather than the other way around), the fact that research about safe cosleeping was disregarded, and especially that the AAP's own Section on Breastfeeding was denied input into the decision / recs.

    Good for them.

    Good! The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is going to put out a statement also. The Section on Breastfeeding can't, really, as part of the same organization.

    Default RE: LLL responded to the new AAP recs

    Thanks! I read it on MDC where it was quoted in entirety, but then I couldn't find my way around their website, either.

    (As for why I haven't had the baby yet, I have no freaking idea. I'm kind of passing the point of being a good sport about it. I've been having strong contractions in the past 24 hours and now have lots of cramping, but nothing is progressing or getting more organized. I'm getting tired and grouchy. I hope it kicks in SOON.)
