Catherine: I certainly share your frustration-these Mothers need you! Fortunely, we haven't been cut yet although I am constantly reminded that it could happen anytime! Are these patients of yours a long distance call away? You can certainly still have them referred to you and you can contact them by mail and follow up with a phone call periodically. Our VA. State Task force has put out some great little pamphlets for the promotion of and general how to's concerning bf. They are one piece pamphlets perfect for mailing-you could check and see if your state offers the same. You could look into setting up monthly bf support meetings at your local WIC office to include your bf Moms and other Moms who are interested in bf. That would mean only once a month you are driving that far! Have a local organization, hospital, or maybe WIC donate refreshments and give aways to help bring Moms in. Maybe a local hospital would help fund your program or Pilot Club, Woman's Club, Kwana's(spelling),etc. Just a few brainstorms that may or may not help but that's what it takes-BRAINSTORM! You know the old saying, "Where there is a will, there is a way!" Hang in there and don't let it get you down-these Moms need you to remain positive and upbeat because som much in their environment isn't. (Preaching to the choir!) Good luck! Laura H.
