My thanks to all of you for all the advice re books and my spirited baby.  I
had committed the mistake of assuming that one baby was much like another,
and so since my first didn't like the sling after about 2 months, I hadn't
really tried it since then w/ this one.  Wrong!  She loves it, and so do I.
We're both doing better being out and about  together.  I also get tons of
questions/comments about it from people, and use it as an opportunity to
promote BF, attachment parenting (or some version thereof), and general
integration of babies into our lives.

For better or for worse, my book bill has gone up dramatically, thanks to the
wide range of books you all suggested to me.  One of you is encouraging me to
pursue IBCLC, and I'm thinking hard about it.  Look forward to being a
certifiable LactNut soon!

grins to all,
Elizabeth Steiner MD
