Re: [ozmidwifery] New South Wales Health Booklet on Breastfeeding
I'll second that Barb... Actually (But I don't have it in front of me) I think the NSW Health BF Policy - which is mandatory to comply with - states professionally presented brochures and booklet must be used. With ABA's BF Confidence and Breastfeeding While Natural and the new BF booklet and Starting Family Foods brochure free from Health, why reinvent the wheel?

The Australian Breastfeeding Association has great information that is so cheap it's sinful. And it's well-researched, up to date, well written etc and beautifully presented. Most hospitals buy in bulk things like "breastfeeding confidence" (a small multi-page and extremely comprehensive booklet) and tip cards - 75c for 25 tip cards.
