Hi Everyone-
I've been off Lactnet for a while, with all time consumed by setting up the
first USA Baby Cafe - _http://www.thebabycafe.co.uk/L/BC_Detail.php?ID=105_
(http://www.thebabycafe.co.uk/L/BC_Detail.php?ID=105) .
The Cafe is going along very well, funded by a March of Dimes grant- with
LOTS of moms attending twice a week, and local docs sending moms with any
breastfeeding issues there as well. We currently track an 86% exclusive
breastfeeding rate @ 6mos of all the 6mos babies attending. (That's compared to a state
6mos excl rate of 14%)
This Wed- Aug 8th. , we are participating in the Guiness World Records
Synchronized World Breastfeeding event with a gathering of moms at the Baby Cafe
in Melrose, all latching on at 10am. We will have the press there, in addition
to a couple of "professionals " to document it.
(I don't know if anyone on Lactnet sent out info about the World Sync
BFeeding event already, so pardon if this is old news.)
It took a bit of organizing, but once I downloaded all the specific
directions, it was fairly easy to pull together. I don't know how many
other US sites are participating, but if the event occurs next year, perhaps
more of us can participate. Some Phillipine LC's and others apparently
started it all, and they have some lovely songs they have made up to go with it.
