In New Orleans I delivered hundreds of mostly indigent babies my intern year and maybe one mom breastfed. Patients told me it was "low class" to breastfeed. When I returned to Tampa the next year, about 85% of our moms breastfed. In my private practice in Orlando, probably 90% of women breastfeed. I don't know if there are any state-level restrictions on breastfeeding location, frequency, or age of the child, but I doubt it. (My mom knew a colleague who was breastfeeding her 8 year-old healthy child). Ashley

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
