Dear Friends:

Someone commented, maybe a year or two ago, about women pumping together.
Oxytocin may act like a pheremone, and promote milk flow while women rock
and chat.

A problem in the US is the isolation. Women are now alone in maternity
units; a new mother alone with a newborn is a receipe for disaster.

I remember the 4 and 6-bed maternity rooms; I remember enjoying putting a
primalacta in the same room as a multilacta. As wonderful Peter Hartmann
said in his fabulous talk (available for free on the website!! Check it
out!)......humans learn by osmosis.

Consider learning to drive......many of us already had some idea because
we'd grown up driven every day. Learning by seeing, by living....by osmosis.

Consider all those fabulous images of women expressing together in Cuba and
in Kenya......all the women look at a minimum, fully engaged and at a
maximum, happy.

warmly,
