The Soroptimist publication "Best for Women" (Dec/Jan/Feb 2008) headlined an 
article titled "Censored: the breastfeeding battle - breast is best for babies 
but moms still fight for rights."  Some of those on this list serve may be 
members of Soroptimist Organization, but if you have a contact, please read 
the article. Our very own Ruth Lawrence is quoted, as is Marsha Walker.  The 
photo on the front cover is of a mother breastfeeding her baby.  Our Director 
of Nursing at my Health Department (she is a member of Soroptimist) actually 
passed on the publication to me.  I plan on approaching her with a request to 
apply for a 1st 5 grant to fund breastfeeding support and a pump rental 
program in our local area.  At this point, 1st 5 has yet to fund this type of 
need.
