Thirty one years ago tonight I gave birth to our first child-a full term
healthy son. He was not brought me to nurse or even hold for over 24 hours.
Ask me if I still remember it!!!  I had worked in that newborn nursery and
those nurses were supposed to be my friends.   In spite of those hospital
routines,  he still nursed for over a year.
Twenty two months later, in the same hospital,  his sister went to my
breast while I was still on the delivery table after a Cesarean  birth and
nursed beautifully, and for many, many months thereafter.
Who says assertive mothers can't make a difference? But unfortunately
mothers are still fighting the same battles or varieties thereof. United,
we can help with this on-going struggle of women everywhere..

Thank you, each one, for all you do to make this a better world.
