Long time no post.... I have been busy with babies and moms and dads.  I was
taking a much needed break today, indulging in the most recent issue of
People magazine, reading an article about 'Childhood Obesity', and right
there, in the box titled, "What Parents Can Do Now"  the very first thing
listed is... drum roll please....   BREASTFEED!!!  It says, and I quote,
"Breastfeed.  Some studies indicate that nursed infants are less likely to
become overweight"  OK, it is not perfect, but we have to see this as a win!!
 It is listed FIRST.  I jumped up and turned my computer back on to post
this....
