Hi all! I have been No Mail for ages and lurking for 2 weeks. I am an LC in private practice in Riverdale, NY. I have 3 breastfed "kids" 23. 21 & 17... all weaned, in case that wasn't clear. Wish I could keep up with Lacnet but probably won't so I'll come & go. I do enjoy the clinical discussions most of all. To put in my 2 cents on mastitis before pregnancy. I saw a case in Pitssburgh a few years ago. She had been hospitalised for premature labor, I think. When she delivered she did not produce a drop of milk. It was as if it was all blocked! Pumping, & hand expression did not help. Margot C Mann IBCLC NY ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
