Diane W says, << Our family talks about being "mouth hungry" vs "stomach hungry". When we're mouth hungry, we go looking for some potato chips, or a cookie, or (I'm just putting this in for the nutritionists among us) a piece of fruit. Not to fill up, just to make our mouths happy. I think by nursing when they're "mouth hungry", babies ensure that they never get dangerously "stomach hungry." >> OK Diane, this is it. Absolutely IT! What makes you so incredibly wise? You are, you know..... Drives me nuts when I read your mail (you and Barbara W-C) and see that you are RIGHT. So....just....RIGHT ON.... Thank you (again and again and again) for posting. I've missed you while you were off Lactnet. I tell all my students in my 6 day course that you and BWC and KD and a few others are a MUST READ. NEVER NEVER NEVER skip what they have to say, I tell them. And you've confirmed it once again. Thanks..... Jan B in gloomy, rainy and first-day-of-fall-cold Wheaton, who will be happy to get to Scottsdale next week. *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
