Hi Jenny and all
I may be wrong but could this be referring to the balance of
different fatty
acids in the mother's diet during lactation and the research
showing the
effects on the baby's brain development (and new research
suggesting
possibly function as well) and retinal development?? Could
it be just
coincidence a M/J (I assume Mead Johnson??) rep dropped it
off?? I'm
sceptical of that too though!!
Worth asking the LC what the content of her lecture is
before reporting
anything - the name of the seminar may be a clever ploy to
get some in who
really need to know about the DHA availability in human milk
and the
comparison to non-human milk. Also to those who can
influence the mother's
maternal and post-natal nutrition.
cheers
Del

Subject: lactation consultants invitation
The M/J rep dropped into our hospital LC office and left an
invitation for
lactation consultants to attend a dinner and lecture to be
given by an IBCLC
in Madison Wisconsin, on "Improving Maternal and Infant
DHA Nutrition". How
can this happen? I thought that it was a conflict of
interest and unethical
for an IBCLC to be working for a formula company. Promoting
one of their
products even though its not formula is still supporting a
company that
sabotages breastfeeding at every opportunity.
