Dear Friends:
    When I was the LC for a program serving low-income women in Philadelphia
( a major city on the east coast of the USA, between New York City and
Wilmington, Delaware), I had the privilege of working with aobut 30 teens.
The ones that continued to breastfeed past the first week all went back to
school. They didn't all go back when their school district wanted them to go
(which was at 2 weeks postpartum), however, they all went back eventually.
    And homeschooling is, as Valerie posted so well, is another fabulous
alternative. Warmly, Nikki Lee
