Dear Lactnetters, I recently got a call at our hospital-based lactation center from a mom who had recently adopted and was interested in breastfeeding. We discussed her options and I gave her some websites and invited her to come in for a consultation. I also took the liberty of giving her Judy Gelman's e-mail address. I met Judy years ago at a LLL Leader Development Seminar and knew of her expertise in this area, as well as her postings on Lactnet. The mom called and scheduled an appointment after going to the LLL websites and getting a gracious reply from Judy. The very morning of the appointment I read a post here about an older baby that went to the breast after finger-feeding with the SNS. This baby is nearly 6 weeks old and has only had bottles. "Sure 'nuff", as we say here in the South, he latched right on after a brief fingerfeed and transferred 4 oz!! This is one of the many reasons I am addicted to Lactnet. (Also, great posts like K. Jean Cotterman's recent "sore" subject.) Thanks, Judy Jan Ellen Brown, RDH, IBCLC Charlotte, NC USA *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
