love you definition Rachel. sounded a huge chord with me!
Very interested in the above -- I know the paper where Margaret Alade
assessed and corrected the latch (for some of the trial women) and it has
always driven me crazy that there was no indication how the latching /
feeding was assessed.  Did I miss a reference?  Can you tell me where one
might find their checklist?
