Of the 4 Leaders in our group, we've had 10 babies and all but one of them
are girls! A former co-Leader also had 5 girls. Our Leader-in Reserve has 7
children: 2 boys and 5 girls. Only the last 4 were breastfed and they were
all girls. Carol breastfed those last 4 babies because of the allergies the
first 3 had.

My firstborn, Mary, was very high need; all the time she wasn't nursing, she
being carried in the Snugli. She, who was born raring-to-go, just earned
straight As in her second semester at college. (Is a motherly brag allowed?)

Warmly,
