My apologies, Marianne. Yes, it is the habit of list members, to sign with your name, profession and country. I have gotten lazy! I am in Canada, and I have no Lactation credentials at all. I am a "long-time" Lactnetter, but haven't been posting as frequently in the past year or so. I am a "professional" volunteer lactivist (breastfeeding advocate) - people know me for being a key organizer of the large "Nurse-Ins" that have been held here in North America, over the past few years. My professional background is in sales and marketing, and I have become experienced using the media (through the Nurse-Ins) to raise the awareness of breastfeeding rights, and the need for greater support for breastfeeding in the general public, especially breastfeeding in public. I also monitor the media for mentions about breastfeeding and often send these items to Lactnet. Welcome to Lactnet, and thanks for reminding me to re-introduce myself. Janice Reynolds, B. Comm.
