I just wanted to say how grateful I am for this e-mail group.  I
became certified IBCLC in 1994 and started a private practice in 1995 - I
feel alone in my area here.  No other LCs around close to turn to for
support or help.

        This group has given me the vehicle to obtain accurate and factual
information quickly - I really appreciate that.

        If I look in all my books and can't find an answer I know I can turn
to my fellow Lactnetters for help.

        I no longer feel alone here - I have what about 800 supporters and
helpers.  Thanks - This is a great tool!!!!!

        Not to mention that reading the posts and answers is a learning
opportunity as well.
