Jennifer's post was succinct, fabulous and very well written. Thanks for taking the time to express the truths and frustrations facing new mothers/women/babies pretty well every minute of every day. It is like there is a war going on, it is in our hospital L&D wards and the victims are the new parents, their babies and their safe transition to becoming a family complete with bonding and breastfeeding. The voices of these wronged families really need to be heard. Thanks Jennifer, Annie VerSteeg IBCLC PS> Good luck to everyone sitting the big EXAM tomorrow! *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
