Hello there Lactnuts.  Haven't sent any posts lately, but I have been out
there.  I just thought that I would mention something that might be of
interest.

I live in Texas and because of the strange weather that we get down here
quite often (we just had 2 floods), I have decided to include this in my
explanation of why you should breastfeed when talking to pregnant moms in
our WIC clinic.

I just thought of something else to include.  I don't know how many of you
believe in the problem with the computer thing in the year 2000.  I do, but
I don't know to what extent.  If it is going to be as bad a some say, it
could affect whether or not grocery stores get their groceries.  This could
affect whether or not babies get their formula.  If women breastfed their
babies, they would not have to worry about whether the computer problem
happens or not.  I think when the time gets closer, I am going to talk to
women about that.

What are all of your ideas on this?
