I joined LACTNET 18 or 19 years ago, as soon as I heard about it.  I was feeling pretty much alone in the LC world, with no other LCs nearby.   It meant the world to me to be able to connect with LCs internationally!  I have continued to read LACTNET almost every day since, and I would hate to lose it.

In the early years I did post some, but was taken aback by some “strongly worded” private responses I received.  Since then, I have been comfortable to mostly just read.  Nevertheless, I continue to learn from and enjoy LACTNET.  It is a vital connection for me to what is going on with breastfeeding all around the world.  Without it, I might fall into the trap of thinking that my experience represents everyone’s experience.

Deep in my closet I still have a “Latch-on to LACTNET” t-shirt purchased at an ILCA conference many years ago.  It doesn’t fit anymore, but I just can’t give it up!
