The Toronto Star has published a number of articles about breastfeeding
today and in recent days.
Re: the Jack Newman Clinic closure articles - please continue to send
letters to the editor to thank them for these articles. The organizers of
the effort to keep the clinics open also ask people to continue to send
letters to the editor in support of the clinics.
One important point left out of the article. While Jack only sees 500 women
a year, this is on a schedule of less than one day a week. Imagine how many
women he could see if he had a full time clinic!
The address to send letters to, is at the bottom of this email

Marni Braudy is expecting her second baby any day now and she is hoping and
praying that the breast-feeding clinic at the North York General Hospital
will be there for her in the weeks and months ahead.
"This is my second child but you never know with a newborn how things will
turn out," says Braudy, who breast-fed her first baby for more than two
years after a very bumpy start.
"It's an outrage this clinic will close."

Nursing mothers deserve best care
Editorial, Nov. 18.
We agree with your recent editorial in support of saving a North York
breast-feeding clinic. Hospital-based clinics like this one, run by Dr. Jack
Newman, are part of a much-needed community support network new mothers need
to start and continue breast-feeding.
Ontario nurses are also key to these front-line efforts. The Registered
Nurses' Association of Ontario strongly believes that mother's milk offers
the healthiest start for infants.

Genine Natale has pressed the hungry mouths of five tiny babes to her breast
in the years since she became a mother. Only two of them were her own.
In three separate instances, Natale, who is a Toronto teacher, nursed other
women's babies. And she is far from alone in this experience. The practice
of wet-nursing is alive and well in the modern world.

Orlee Muroff was delighted to receive an unusual baby shower gift - a visit
from a lactation expert.
The nervous first-time mom had already lined up a night nurse for the first
two weeks after her baby's birth because she wanted to start things off on
the right foot, especially breast-feeding.
"I was not breast-fed as a baby, so my mother couldn't help me there," says
Muroff, a 33-year-old health food buyer for a grocery store chain. "I'm
nervous. I could negotiate a million-dollar contract but I don't know baby."
