Hello all!

I wanted to pass along a recent post to the LLLOL listserv:

Have any lactnetters heard of or seen this book?  It would certainly have
really negative implications for all breastfeeding advocates.  The
only bright side is that the anti-bf anxiety expressed by the book is a
small measure of OUR success in getting positive bf messages out there.
