Reading comments from C. Ione Sims (excellent ideas!) left me with one more thought: can you start a support group yourself? I take, for inspiration, the stories of the founders of LaLeche League. Read what they went through--you'll identify! In my current position, as a Lactation Consultant employed by an HMO, I initially started out as a volunteer leading a monthly Nursing Mother's Group. Slowly, but increasingly, I met mothers who were interested in breastfeeding. They did the "promotion." Soon new mothers were seeking me out. Then the clinic was established--because the "customers" demanded it. I'm a believer in grass roots and the power of one. Good luck--and let me know if I can be of assistance. Margery Wilson, IBCLC
