Gail,
Great post!  Something I hadn't thought of and I'm leading a session on
"Teaching Breastfeeding to Culturally Diverse Populations" this spring.
Thanks for the reminder.

There is one thing in your post I would like to make mention of though:
>(By the way, a disposable diapers saturated with water and frozen, makes a
great ice pack.)
I don't recommend this for the same reason I don't recommend using
menstral pads cut up as breast pads for leaking.  There are chemicals
that some may be sensitive to or wish not to be exposed to.
