Wow... we're getting some great feedback for our Bucket List!  
 
I would ask those on this list who are also health care professionals in
another capacity (nurses, doctors, midwives, etc.) to add to the list as
well... not with things you feel you need to know, but rather with things
that you use in your work with breastfeeding moms, that you would not be
able to do if you were NOT also a nurse, doctor, midwife, etc.
 
Remember, its a Bucket List... we are allowed to be a bit unrealistic!  ;~>
 
This is what we have so far... please continue to add to it, one entry at a
time.
