defend every documented word in The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding.

I would love to get your opinion on another breastfeeding source that has been
translated into so many languages and helped so many women worldwide for more
than 40 years.  The "reality" is that The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding  has
been instrumental in helping millions of woman to successfully breastfeed.

I am new to this list and really have only been striving to be the best lurker
I can be, but this caught my eye and I have to just add my .02 cents in saying
that I agree with you, Ruth.  I love The Womanly Art and continue to refer to
it regularly, as well as lend it to every new nursing mother I know.  There
are many who have benefited by that LLL book.  I'm not flaming at all, just
defending what I also feel to be a great piece of breastfeeding literature.
