Hear, hear, Magda!  I think one of LLL's founders was once quoted as saying
that one of their goals was to make the organization unnecessary - when
everyone breastfeeds, that slogan Heather mentioned, 'wouldn't it be good if
you had a friend who was breastfeeding, too? '  will suffice quite nicely
for most women and babies.
