Hi everyone I just read Karen's post and I certainly knows what she means about a place for support for "nonbelievers and doubters". I do think that LLL and other peer support groups are the place for that type of support and info. About 15 years ago we put in the first LLL phone line in Rockland County NY. It had a very short outgoing message so we said "information about and support for breastfeeding". Although lactnet certainly provides that for the people who read it I rally think that this isn't the place for new mothers or others who just want some information. We cannot be all things for all people and the purpose of lactnet is to be a forum for "lactation consultants and others who assist breastfeeding mothers and their babies and/or who promote breastfeeding." I don't know if there is anyplace to send those other mildly interested people, and I certainly don't mean to say that they aren't welcome. It is just that the primary focus needs to be kept in mind.
