Special thanks to Jon Ahrendsen MD for good naturedly calling me on guessing the 1000th Lactnetter would be a SHE! I laughed at loud at discovering how sexist I sounded, when I like to think I am as un-role-biased as they come. Actually, I was very much aware of purposefully typing SHE, since females do outnumber the males on Lactnet. I would be pleased to be wrong on this one! We could interpret having a male be the 1000th Lactnetter as a symbol that breastfeeding is moving into a new era! I am particularly grateful for the presence of men like Jon on Lactnet who are knowledgeable, committed to the importance of breastfeeding, and who put their expertise to work at promoting and researching breastfeeding. Am I forgiven? <grin> Joyce Blangiardo RN, FACCE, IBCLC
