I have to wonder about how Ms. Ratna is going to deal with the sort of nursers
you're likely to find through Lactnet, since her study requires a study session "2
weeks post-weaning".  How is she going to deal with subjects who nurse for
two, three, or four years?  Is her study designed to last that long?  Does she
even know that this is norm among self-weaned children?
