A friend of mine had a woman who called her umpteen times a week for
advice, and then did the opposite. Seems she didn't believe us, treated us
like fanatics and probably called to hear what we did so she could do the
OPPOSITE. (Yes, she made us want to scream) I think in her case she would
have benefitted from a no-nonsense book like Bestfeeding, if anything at
all. One of her friends went out and bought her a different book of ABM
philosophy, and a week later she weaned the baby.
At least with Bestfeeding, Chloe et al's. credentials would have stood
out, whereas Yael and I were "just mothers". of two healthy Bf children
each.
She also refused to go to LLL meetings or call an LC.
I got a good letter into the Jerusalem Post this week about the Nestle
boycott. I've also gotten some positive feedback from people who've read
it.
You can find it at:

This week the Nestle people came to sell their products to our local
grocery and the owner told them, "There's a Nestle boycott in our
settlement."
This is where it helps that I worked as a cashier in this man's store last
year...Also, since I told his wife and sent him the URL's for Baby Milk
Action, he's been more aware. Ahhh, the pleasantness of open-minded
people.
