I know it's been a big help to me in keeping me interested. Reading
Lactnet for the better part of five years has given me much more
exposure to lactation issues than I could get hands-on at my work. When
I saw my first "bleb" last year I knew exactly what it was from the
descriptions I've read here. Lactose overload? Wasn't really familiar
with it until studying the vivid descriptions and solutions here. I've
helped a handful of women who were going nuts with classic cases. What
I get here, combined with my own education and intuition, is greater
than the sum of the parts. I'm not very much of a "people person" so I
don't know what I'd do without Lactnet for a resource. Big thanks to
everyone!
