> Gail, I'd like to be nibby...are you also a mom?  Sincerely, Pat in SNJ

Yes, I became a mom 3 months before I became  medical student.  My daughter
breastfed for more than 2 years and I pumped for around a year's time. Sort
of "on the job training" for what a Pediatrician  should know about
breastfeeding.
