Dear Friends: A baby was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor at age 4 months that was treated with surgery and chemotherapy. The hospital staff was very relieved that the baby was being exclusively breastfed; the mother feels and believes that breastfeeding saved her baby's life. This baby is the mother's 4th baby. She had trouble learning to breastfeed in the hospital with her 1st baby...........until some night nurse came and sat with her for 15 minutes and gave her enough guidance that breastfeeding became easy and fun. This mother is deeply thankful for those 15 minutes that saved a breastfeeding relationship, and as a result, proved essential in saving a life as well. Amazing and wonderful story. Who knows what impact the advice and encouragement that we give will have in a far and distant future?? warmly, Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE Adjunct Faculty, Union Institute and University, Lactation Program Film Reviews Editor, Journal of Human Lactation www.breastfeedingalwaysbest.com *********************************************** 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.
