Dear all:

I can't even tell you how depressing it is to have studied for 2 years for a MHS including 
lots of maternal and child nutrition courses of which 90% was on breastfeeding, a PhD 
that was all maternal and children nutrition of which 90% was on breastfeeding and then 
find a marvelous profession that I thought would be the culmination of all these years of 
learning only to find out that I have studied my way into a hole in which the marketing 
director where I do breastfeeding support groups has more legal freedom to dispense 
whatever information pops into her head about breastfeeding than I do!  

I was listening to her tell a mom that it never hurts to drink More Milk Plus (and I'm 
thinking about the three oversuppliers in my clinic that day) and it dawned on me that 
"Wow, no one can hold her liable for whatever she says!"

So, my husband, dear man, decided to help me with an idea for a Breast Emporium.  Just 
be a retailer and dispense advice!  He thought we could include an exhibit for toddlers 
and preschoolers (I was thinking about the Children's Museum in Manhattan that has the 
digestive tract that you could walk through and he was thinking about the Franklin 
Institute heart that children climb through and slide out of).  He envisioned a giant breast 
that children could enter and crawl through and exit through the nipple pores.  Then we 
could have the "milk ball" exhibit for slightly older children.  Instead of paint ball, the 
kids could have a model breast and squirt white "milk" at each other.  Then, having spent 
some time at Rye's Playland, he came up with the idea of "Who can fill up the baby?" 
where kids keep squirting a balloon baby that finally pops when it is overstuffed with 
milk.  And for any of you who caught the "heart rates of various mammals" we could 
have the equivalent exhibit for mammalian feeding! 

Might be more lucrative that spending money on a lawyer after my futile attempt today to 
try to get an answer straight from IBCLE about the legal questions I asked months ago 
and still have not had answered successfully.

Best, Susan E. Burger, MHS, PhD --- not quite sure whether she should recert for the 
IBCLC, RLC this year.

PS. Another side line profession is "domain name" squatting.  I'm putting up a no 
advertisement, very streamlined website just with info about my services website and 
discovered the bizarre domain name squatting in the erotic to porn arena of lactation.  
This caused another round of my husband going off the deep end with potential names.
