Thank you everyone for raising my sensitivity vis-a-vis what a negative experience could be. I am not allowed into the OB wards of my local hospital to help new moms with lactation because I am not a nurse (I swear that's what they tell me), so all I see is the fallout. Frankly, I had trouble with most of the scenarios described in the net messages - my background is in psychology, so some of the scenes sounded like borderline sadism. Maybe it's a good thing that I'm NOT allowed in the wards, huh? Thanks again, Judy Knopf
