of energy.

Yesterday, a 17 year old mother of a 10 month old made an appointment with
me to ask all kinds of breastfeeding questions related to her son (the
social worker referred her to me, knowing I am a LLLL and LC candidate).
They were just the kinds of things we talk about with  mom's at meetings.
"How much should he be eating?" "He really doesn't drink much at day care
but nurses a lot at home, is this OK?" "How long should he nurse?" etc.

 This young lady carried a Lactina around with her at school for a while
including carrying it on the bus!!! I told her how impressed I was with her
determination and what a lucky boy she had. You should have seen the smile
on BOTH our faces when that meeting was over.
