The topic of Lactnet is breastfeeding - something, by the way, that prevents even more child deaths than vaccines do. Posts about vaccination pros and cons are only appropriate to Lactnet *as they relate to breastfeeding*. The topic of vaccination in itself has been demonstrated in the past to have impressive potential to sidetrack the list from its purpose. Therefore, we request that subscribers wishing to discuss the merits or drawbacks of specific immunizations, or immunization by vaccine in general, do so elsewhere. Posts about whether a particular vaccine is a contraindication to breastfeeding, are still on topic. If you have a query for Lactnet involving immunization in some way, feel free to run it by us listmothers before you post it, to be on the safe side of the guidelines. We will be grateful if you can all just get back on topic now :-) Rachel Myr, wearing listmother hat, in Kristiansand, Norway *********************************************** 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.
