Here is a request for those creative minds in Lactnetland.........

I am designing a module for a Breastfeeding Basics training for health
professionals who work with low income women. I plan to put a box on each
table with items that can be used instead of expensive products that are on
the market.

For example:

2 yards of fabric--to demonstrate how to tie a sling
a disposable diaper (to fill with hot or cold water for a dripless
compress--molds great around breasts)
balloons--to practice hand expression
a man's t-shirt with the holes cut out where a woman's breasts would be
cabbage leaves--to discuss cabage use for engorgement

What else can you suggest?

Can you suggest any great names for the box?

Looking forward to your replies. And thanks.
