Melissa and all the rest of your great gals: Your stories about 'singing at a nursing home' and the Hard Labor Creek camp were great....even the joke about lactation consultants retiring to a nursing home didn't make me groan 'cause I had never heard it! (I WOULD goan, however, on a 2nd hearing - word to the wise) TRUE STORY: When my daughter was about 4, (she quite nursing at 3) we were sitting in a park, and nearby a mother was feeding her infant with a baby bottle. Shirin turned to me with her little face filled with a combination of concern, sadness and outrage....and said, "Look, Mommy, that lady is making her baby sick with that formula...she's gonna kill her that way." And now that, at 11 1/2 she is beginning to get her own "breast-buds", as we call them...and is using her first little bras, her main concern has been whether she might have inverted nipples. So far, everything looks good! Talk about a future LC in the making! love, Roberta Roberta [log in to unmask]
