My presentations went marvelously. Thanks for all your ideas! I started with telling them how many people said I needed to let them know that bf was not just nice, it was necessary. Segue to how many babies die annually from not being breastfed, and why. Then answered a ton of questions. Closed by reminding them that they had dregs in their formula sample cups, but that the label said to throw it out; over the course of the hour it had been quietly incubating enough bacteria to be potentially fatal to a compromised or premature infant, and to seriously sicken a previously healthy baby. That *really* hit home. We didn't make it through all the questions submitted beforehand, so I will type up answers with links and email them. A couple dozen kids came up and got my card. We covered so many topics. The freshman class mostly listened, but the older class was very interactive. I have been "hired" to guest lecture next semester during the Maternal and Infant Health unit of the Global Public Health class. I love this "job" :) Lynn in Kirksville, MO *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
