Jay, On my next visit to the Ped office I'm planning on bringing the new (inexpensive) poster LLLI just came out with. It's only 11x8.5 and has a picture of a BEAUTIFUL baby in the middle of various benefits, with the heading,"BF... it makes a difference". It is a LLL membership promo though, but hey, their promo is better thatn S*m*l*c's promo!
