Dear Fellow Lactnetters:
     One day, I had five minutes to spare, so I foolishly entered a Masters
program.  Actually, I'm enjoying it.  But anyway, I have to do a paper on a
problem related to poorly managed stress, and wanted to focus on unsuccessful
breastfeeding as related to poorly managed stress.  This could be direct,
such as severe emotional stress or noise pollution, or stress's role in
mastitis, or more indirect such as conflicting values, i.e. husband feels
breasts are his, mom feels stress.
     I would *greatly* appreciate any leads as to recent (<10 years) articles
related to same, and any ideas you have.  This is one of those accellerated
summer courses, so I have to work fast.
     Please e-mail me privately, as I haven't been keeing up with lactnet
lately.
    THANKS!!!
