It's been great fun reading all of this and thanks to those who commented on
my FTT ideas.  I've just been too busy to post and have lost track of much of
it.  However, I did want to share a story, relative to someone's question
about critical blood loss & milk supply.

About 6 weeks ago a friend's cousin had her third baby.  A couple hours after
birth she bled out and was all but gone.  Spent the next day or so on a
ventilator and was a very sick lady.  They assured her that there was no
point in attempting breastfeeding, but when she was strong enough to hold
baby, she smiled at them and put her to breast.  Milke came in, albeit
somewhat more slowly and mom & baby are doing well.

Spoke in a high school today, which I love.  Another idea for teens--they
love visual stuff--bringing my doll & breast, demonstrating public
breastfeeding, showing a pump (attached to a balloon).  They also respond
very well to humor.  And I make a big point of talking about what's in it for
them.
