Good morning Kathleen and other Listmother,

For me Lactnet is the most valuable tool I have for working in the field of
Lactation.  Books and magazines are instructional, workshops are
educational, but there is nothing like needing help or support and having
thousands of cohorts ready, willing and able to help.



I had a patient die, breastfeeding mother, a couple of weeks ago and I was
the last medical person to see her.  After being informed I rushed back to
my computer and into the wide open arms of my Lactnet family.  With a heavy
heart and eyes full of tears I asked questions of my Lactnet family I could
not have asked anyone else.  Within a matter of moments the e-mails started
to pour in from all over the world.  They provided me with correct
information, love and lots of emotional support.  I know of no where else,
in the field of Lactation, this could have happened.



Lactnet is not just a place to go and learn, it is a "family"!  And like any
family we can be a bit dysfunctional at times and act like a spoiled or
ungrateful child.  But as all good mothers do, they find a way to wrap their
arms around their family and continue to provide love, support and if needed
a swift kick in the behind. Thank you and all the other Listmothers for
starting Lactnet and for keeping it going through the good and bad times.



From one of your Spoiled and often times Ungrateful Lactnet daughters,

Sincere thanks
