Well the baby and dady are sleeping I spose I can tell You I'm an RN with a
hx of working in a freestanding birth center ( Holy Family) with certified
midwives.  We deliver the poor hispanics ( we are about 10 miles from Mexico)
 and a few lucky middle class that know a natural birth is desired.  Clients
are required to sign a contract that include agreement to bf.  Baby is placed
on tummy and usually finds the breast with little problem after birth. I
continue to volunteer their but am now in homehealth.  I am an active member
in a La Leche group about an hour away and am now helping lead an independent
group of mom's for breastfeeding in town.  I get most of my group from a
local clinic and the nurse practiotiner their sends me her problems.  Lately
I'v been able to dx simple problems and with "The Breastfeeding Answer book"
 help some moms out.  I do about 3-4 telephone calls a month.  You all have
been teaching me and inspiring me.  Thank You.  BTW  Sean will be two in Aug
and usually nurses while I'm logged on,
Chi Chi's are better.
