argh! then there are those of us in the hinterlands where we don't
have access to such stuff- I'm almost tempted to see my husband do a
sabbatical someplace where I could do such a program- but I would
imagine that many, many of us who want to figure out *how* to do
something in lactation have young children- so many of us got to where
we are at least partly through our own parenting experiences.
I do feel I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place and have pretty
much decided that I'll only make progress when my youngest starts
kindergarten in 2 years. In the meantime, I will advocate where I
can, offer help whenever I can, wonder how I should "advertise"
myself, be frustrated and hope I don't get distracted and just decide
to teach Nia and not worry about this frustrating, exciting, necessary
goal of getting all babies to the breast.
