Dear Friends:
    Barbara's sad, sad post about her client who eventually died of breast
cancer and her comments about the benefits of breastfeeding being true for
populations reminded me of what I tell clients and classes.
    Is wearing a seatbelt a guarantee of survival in a car crash?
    No. But the chances of survival are much greater when they are
worn.Enough that it is worth it for an individual to wear one.
    Breastfeeding is like a seatbelt; no individual guarantee, but the
chances of a healthy life are increased enough that it is worth it.
    warmly,
    Nikki Lee
