Hi,
   Wanted to share a lovely experience I had today at work.  I was helping a 
young 16 year old Mom latch her baby.  Her great-grandmother (she looked 
around 50) and brother and cousin were in the room.  The two boys were 
around 11 and 12yrs.  The boys looked a little uncomfortable and averted 
their eyes while baby fed.  (I had already asked if Mom wished anyone to 
step out or a curtain pulled).  Great grandmother said to the boys, "You 
boys just go ahead and look, watch that baby feed.  This is what babies are 
meant to do, what breasts are really for.  I want you to know all about this 
so when you have babies you will know how they should be fed, and you can 
say my baby breastfeeds!"  I was particularly delighted because this was in 
a population that typically has low breastfeeding rates. What a wonderful 
start for this baby!
