Dear Friends:
    A local birth center has an open house at lunchtime  on Thursdays,called 
the "Lunch Bunch". Any mom can come with her new baby and  hang out; I am 
hired to answer questions. Babies can be weighed and  breastfeeding problems can 
be addressed.
    I am amazed at how many mothers are dealing with  oversupply at 8-12 
weeks. I also see mothers nursing a 2nd or 3rd baby  having troubles because they 
are lax about positioning. One mother that had a  lovely pain-free latch on a 
troublesome side last week had forgotten everything  by this week's visit and 
had to be reminded..........again. Again she achieved a  pain-free left side 
latch by pulling the baby's butt closer and lifting the  breast underneath. 
We'll see if she can remember for good now.
    The babies are all thriving and gorgeous, smiling  and chubby.
    warmly,
