Kathleen

Bless you for starting Lactnet way back in 1995, and for reminding us now
that this is not the same as the Lactnet Facebook group!

Thank you for all the work you've put in over the years to start Lactnet
and to preserve it as the wonderful place it is.  Thank you too to the
current Administrators who help to perpetuate this safe space.  I've been a
subscriber since 1996 when Lactnet was a revelation - suddenly hundreds of
other Lactation Consultants to learn from and brainstorm with - and I've
continuously subscribed except for a few days here and there when changing
countries.  But Lactnet has always remained the same - a very respectful,
professional group which continues to nourish and nurture our profession of
helping mothers to breastfeed and support each other along the way. to
educate, entertain and amuse us...... Unlike the Facebook group of the same
name.  Anyone who belongs to that will certainly not confuse it with this
group since it can be a hazardous experience, and I was excluded a year or
so ago.

Thank you Kathleen.  Sending good wishes for healing your foot and coping
with the arthritis.  Enjoy that lovely family including the 4 grandchildren!

Subject: Lactnet - this list, and Lactnet on Facebook

Good morning all. I wanted to say hello, it's been a while. I am Kathleen,
one of those who thunk up this list in 1995. I wanted to state,
unequivocally, that this list if Lactnet.

The Facebook page is an entirely different kettle of fish.  It is not
associated with this page, is unaffilated with us, although there may be
some overlap in membership.

I realize that there is confusion, sometimes, and people forget.  Just
wanting to make things clear as glass.

I originated the name Lactnet, as evidenced by the word being published in
my letter to the editor, in the JHL, 1995.  Thank you... all.  I am
currently recovering from yet another orthopedic operation on my foot.
Fusion x 3 due to arthritis...(35 years as a nurse). It's been a rough few
weeks, but just wanted to say hi and say my thing.  Thanks to the List
administrators who are working for nothing every day so that you can have
access to professional and polite conversation and discourse.  Blessings to
all....as we approach Mother's Day in the US.

girls, gramma to 4 under 4 years.

Thanks. Kathleen Bruce RN, BSN, IBCLC retired, LLL retired.
