I think this is definitely one area where moms may be more willing to trust peers than one LC saying it's beneficial.. Just my two cents as a LLLL (at whose meetings this kind of discussion happens frequently) Very warmly, Katherine Havener *********************************************** *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
