This is the best thing I found for you: http://www.ennonline.net/ife/module2/m2pdf/m2additional.pdf It addresses relactation and 'when infants are not breastfed'. It is from this site, if you want Module 1 you have to register (and I suggest your husband does, because module 2 and the extra's look pretty good and hsi colleagues need the basisc too): http://www.ennonline.net/ife/index.html Maybe this website can also be of help? http://tinyurl.com/7hh3e (was http://athagan.members.atlantic.net/PFSFAQ/Breastfeeding_in_an_emergen cy.html#P11 ) And background info: http://tinyurl.com/bo3pr Good for you and your husband, I am glad that with the help of google I could be of a tiny bit of help from my corner of the earth. -- Heleen Hayes www.xs4all.nl/~hhayes *********************************************** 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.
