A father  is the first person to teach his baby that love doesn’t have to 
come with  food.>>>>
 
this reminds me of the first person that I remember hearing  say this was 
JoAnne Scott when she taught prenatal breastfeeding classes at  the hospital 
where I worked on MCH nursing units, so that was some 20?years  ago, around 
the time the IBLCE was getting underway, here in America. The  hospital was 
the first in our area, that I know of, to be very  encouraging of having an 
experienced LLLL teaching prenatal breastfeeding  classes, even tho JoAnne 
was not employed by the hospital, ...providing space  and support at no cost. 
Maybe that could be considered at least one example of  non-hostile support 
of breastfeeding in America.
 
I sat my spongy self in on all of JoAnne's prenatal classes to soak up  
every teaching strategy, every method, and every word. She was a  wealth of 
knowledge and experience to say the least. She was a mentor to many  *way* 
before she realized it. I know because I brought it to her attention.  During 
one class she had a friend with her from overseas, Australia I think,  JoAnne 
seemed thrilled to have this friend visiting, and she eager to introduce  me 
to her, but alas I cannot remember who it was. Probably someone famous, 
then  and now.
