Hi everyone,
  Ilene Fabisch is having trouble posting this on lactnet, so I am  
just her messenger.
All feedback, kudos, and requests for the video should be sent  
directly to
Ilene. ([log in to unmask])

It's a wonderful video, enjoy it. I hope it will make its way to many  
OB, WIC
and other offices.
