Dear Jon and others,
If the administrators, officials, and colleagues get so uncomfortable
"calling a spade a spade," perhaps we are really doing some good in
heightening awareness.  I think many fear mom's "can't" breastfeed. The
obvious solution is teach HOW-TO and made sure the stumbling blocks are
removed (no separating mom & babies, etc etc).

I think sometimes that the amount of resistence (reprimands, broken
contracts, whispering behind our backs, etc) we get for speaking the truth is
a measure of our effectiveness.  Unfortunately, the first step in the process
of change is acknowledging the reason for it. You can't get into the boat
with one foot still on the dock.

Keep the faith.  The facts are on your side.

25%")
