Hello all! 
When I moved to Switzerland two years ago, I was hopeful that I could do
some bf counseling with the English speaking community here.  I am now
working with the Childbirth Trust of Basel and have been teaching and
counseling.  I met with an American mother in August.  She had a mild
supply problem, which I gave some recommendations for (nothing fancy, pump,
Fenugreek, breast compression etc).  She told her Swiss ped about it and he
was so interested that I wrote him a letter with some articles stating my
recommendations.  So yesterday I recieved a call from a new Swiss mother, I
had been recommended by this pediatrician!!  I never dreamed that I would
be counseling in German!!  And, for some reason they don't cover
breastfeeding and childbirth words in the German courses  :)  But I went
and the learning curve for the language was nearly vertical as this sweet
mother helped me to "fill in the blanks" with my missing bf words!!   A
really tremendous experience and one that I am grateful to Lactnet for,
because of all the resources that I can find, even over here!!  
The doctor also called me and wanted to discuss Fenugreek.  (I had a little
trouble finding the German name, thank you to the person who posted that
for me! )  He was very supportive of it's use since they use herbs often
over here, but wondered how and why it worked.  I had to say that I didn't
know.  Is there any reasearch or opinions on the action of this herb??   I
simply told him that it is used throughout the world with good success.  (I
felt confident with that answer!! )  
Anyway, thanks again to you all for making Lactnet a terrific resource and
I will say again that when you are in a foreign country any small success
feels like a triumph!!  Yesterday was great!!

PS  There are many things that we love about CH, but one more thing if that
the bf  appears really good over here, even if Nestle is a Swiss company!!
