Hello everyone,
 I have just completed a small research study on
cross nursing (in which mothers nurse a baby not
their own on an occasional basis.) Thanks to all
of you who reposnded  and sent my notice to others.
I was able to interview 20 women who had been involved
in cross nursing relationships. I'm finishing up
writing the article and hope it will be published
by spring. I'll keep you all posted.

Now I would like to hear feom LCs, LLLLs, and
pediatrics hcps about your professional
experiences and views in this area. Here
are my questions:

1. What is your professional background?

In your capacity as LLLL, LC and/or pediatric
hcp:

2. Has anyone asked you about cross nursing?

3. What were the circumstances and what did you
tell them?

4. Have you ever suggested it to anyone? If so,
under what circumstances?

5. Do you think cross nursing is a good idea?
Why or why not?

6. Is there anything you worry about it? What?

Please respond by private email. I'll be happy to
post the results.
Also, feel free to pass this on to others who may
have some experience in this area.

Thanks so much for all your help.

Naomi Bar-Yam
