Greetings all
Below is the note I sent to Dr. Metzguer.  I would also like to thank
everyone for the very timely discussion of HIV on Lactnet.  I am scheduled
to give a talk for our local professional group next Thursday and you guys
did all of the work for me.  I love Lactnet!!  Since I got only one
response on my last post on confidentiality I will assume the majority
agrees that we need to consider Dad in the equation in terms of access to
info about the baby.  If not please lets continue the discussion, we need
to be clear on what is ok, if for no other than legal reasons.  Last but
not least are any Lactnuts going to be at the 10th Annual Private Practice
Lactation Consultant Workshop in Philadelphia this weekend?  I'd love to be
able to put more faces with the names on Lactnet.

Thanks,

Lori Werrell, BA, IBCLC
Leonardtown MD
another spring like winter day.
