No this is not a new diagnosis...but a word of the day from another list
serve that I subscribe to...

I thought this had great appropriateness to add to the list of hats an LC
wears...we are to be masters of prolepsis!

pro.lep.sis n., pl. -ses [LLat. <Gk. prolepsis <prolambanein, to
   anticipate: pro-,  before + lambanein,  to take] 1. The anticipation
   and answering of an objection or argument before one's opponent has
   put it forward. 2. The use of a descriptive word in anticipation of
   the act or circumstances that would make it applicable.

Isn't that what we need to do in the promoting and supporting of
breastfeeding?
