>>>I will be happy to keep the list of suggestions posted and compile them for
the next few days as I did for the "names people call us".   Ideas can be for
items to give in a gift pack and/or ways to fund or provide such a gift to
moms. They don't have to be completely non-commercial--just in compliance
with the WHO code.  Here are my ideas so far:

Get the ladies auxiliary, volunteers, at the hospital involved
Get other civic groups involved as their community project (I would like more
examples)
knit little hats or booties for the babies
Make and give a homemade simple baby sling from pillow cases or fabric
Bra pads
Acceptable breast cream--purified lanolin
Information booklet on breastfeeding
A breastfeeding video -- expensive, how would we fund it?<<<

Nutricia, Dutch formula producer has made a video about baby care that is now handed
out to pregnant woman by midwifes etc. Awfull bf info. And... an ILBLC has
contributed with it and her name is on the roll. When someone asked her about that,
she said it was a mistake to join them in this preject. They used her to give
themselves accredits. :(
