Hello All,
I have been lurking about for about 2 weeks and enjoying every minute of
this. It is so exciting to be part of such a large group of fellow
"zealots." Even though I have posted a couple of comments, I never formally
introduced myself which seems to be the protocol.
I am foremost the mother of three children. Sadly, two have grown up and
left home, (TIME FLEW) but I am still enjoying my 14 year old son. I nursed
them for a total of 10 consecutive years.
I am a retired LLL Leader, an IBCLC since 1985, and the author of a
little breastfeeding book, WHY SHOULD I NURSE MY BABY?. I live on a peanut
farm in rural Virginia and spend my time selling said books (in bulk to
hospitals and WIC programs) and helping moms on a volunteer basis. My best
friend is a peer counselor for WIC and I try to help her all I can. Until I
moved to Va., I was a WIC LC in a Florida hospital and loved working with
that clientele. I feel very isolated now in a community of people (sadly,
health professionals, too) who think ABM is just as good as breast milk.
Looking forward to many good times on LACTNET. I love receiving E
MAIL!!

PS. The only thing that bothers me here are the MYSTERY WORDS. For
instance, what is P---------??? on a recent post. It will probably come to
me any minute and I will feel really stupid but right now all I can think of
is pacifier?! Is that a breastfeeding tool?
And why can't we mention brand names?
