It's not such a great thing. I just put on paper what I explain to people in
my lessons. I teached the baby friendly initiative in hospitals to and this
was one of the basics, but very difficult to convince hospital staf of the
importance. When I teach I can give it with all the colour of my experiences
and tell lovely storys and I have a lot of pictures. On paper it looks a lit
dry.
I published it in the journal of the flemisch breastfeedingorganisation VBBB
and it will be published in the journal of flemisch midwives.
If you find it good enough you can publish it in a joural of your interest.

Warm greetings
Lieve
