Alice,

         I may have to spend a little time digging up her number, but I dealt
with a mom who's infant had Hirschsprung's, and she had breastfed two
toddlers successfully prior to this baby--so NO was not in the vocabulary when it
came to breastfeeding.  She came across a lot of resistance (NOT from me, of
course) but she was very successful.  I would be happy to pass on her number, with
her permission.   And sorry about the cancellation of the Australian trip.
I was mourning the fact that I couldn't set it up to begin with!
