My colleague had a client who actually told her to call back later
because she couldn't write down the number at that moment.  She was
not nursing her five day old baby - she was having a manicure.  This
is a population where the leap is tremendous - so rather than falling
into the Grand Canyon - I'm trying to build a bridge across, one
little plank at a time.<

My dear husband has a suggestion for such clients:
When they have their breast augmentations (as a 16th birthday
present,) they should also have an internal pump inserted. When their
babies are born, all they will need to do is to attach plastic tubing
which will deliver their milk straight into a bottle, thus
facilitating pumping and making it completely unecessary to ever
actually breastfeed. Care would have to be taken to ensure that the
remote control coding for the pump did not conflict with that of the
TV or garage door opener controls.

norma, only slightly tongue in cheek
