Dear Friends: For some reason, the thread on instinctive versus learned activity reminded me of a anecdote that I use, very sparingly, after a good rapport with a mom, to increase understanding. Ask , " Was sex the first time the most wonderful thing you had ever experienced?" Women roll their eyes, groan, and say, "No." Then continue, "But you kept working at it didn't you?" More laughter and head-nodding. Even so with breastfeeding. It takes a while to get it all together! Warmly, Nikki Lee *********************************************** 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.
