Barbara, I, who prayed for Hurricane Floyd to go away--living on the eastern coast of Florida, pray for all of you who have suffered its wrath. Irony of ironies, my area has been suffering from drought and Floyd rained very little here..high winds, though. Out of adversity comes opportunity..so I think it wonderful that you have the opportunity to talk about emergency relactation to the media. I think you probably know all the right things to say. I could only add--having relactated without a breast pump--that relactation is possible without having access to a breast pump. Moms in hard hit areas may not have access to breast pumps. Putting the baby to the breast(skin-to-skin) is the most important thing to do. Best wishes and prayers to all of you who were impacted by Floyd. Valerie W. McClain, IBCLC Edgewater, Florida.-- who spent two days with a saw cutting down my favorite tree which had half-way toppled over my fence and into my neighbor's yard. My neighbor thinks I ought to make tree surgery my profession... said I did a better job then most of the men she had seen. Do they have a Treenet I can write to? *********************************************** 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.
