Hi Netters,

Over the years, lecturing on setting up Private Practice as a LC, marketing
yourself, I have seen some people listing themselves in the yellow pages
under "breastfeeding, lactation consultants, breastfeeding consultants".
 Some listings are free while others have been charged for this service.  I
think everyone should try to contact their yellow pages and try to get listed
in the yellow pages, as we all know that in numbers, we can make a big
difference.  Even if it just means educating alot of people.

Family Leave (nu bay-bee), Maternity leave that's not just for women any
more.  Shouldn't this be called "Family Arrival?".  by Mrs. Webster's Guide
