Please join me in wishing Professor Ruth Lawrence a Happy 100th Birthday!   She is a University of Rochester legendary faculty member whose impact in improving maternal/child care worldwide is undeniable.   And to think she did this during a time when there were hardly any female academic pediatricians, while at the same time raising her nine children! I am in awe!   Happy Birthday, Dr. Lawrence! https://lnkd.in/g8KB33kS

Happy Birthday! I fondly remember how you taught us how to cup feed babies during our residency. This helps me to explain the difference between bottle feeding and breast feeding to new moms. Your teaching had a lasting impact!
