Jacqui - Bless your big, warm, wonderful heart for sending such an 
amazing testimonial of love, courage and encouragement about one of 
the stated reasons for mothers  failing to initiate or maintain 
breastfeeding!  Thank you! ... not only for being so generous in 
telling your story so that the rest of us can learn from it, but in 
exploring the issues so thoroughly.  This has been a revelation to 
me.  How lucky your husband and children are.  How lucky _we_ are, 
that you've shared your experience of giving so much to your 
children, in spite of, and especially because of former sexual 
abuse.  And how illuminating it is to hear that your oldest baby has 
the memory, adamantly held, that you LOVED nursing him.  That you've 
so generously shared your story specially in order to urge us not to 
give up too easily with other mothers - in fact to try even harder, 
and why - is humbling in the extreme.   I won't forget !

Bouquets to a wonderful lady!
