Dear Lact-Mentors (I've learned so much from you this summer) Several
     of you have already provided very valuable help re: the
     interprofessional learning module (only 3 hours, sigh!) I'm working on
     to help 2nd and 3rd year medical, nursing and nutrition students learn
     about breastfeeding and about working together. I'm asking for more
     help now as we prepare several "case" studies for discussion by the
     students. It seems best to write these studies from mothers'/families'
     perspectives, to avoid any bias from one or other "profession"! I'm
     wondering if any of you have any particularily instructive stories you
     would be willing to share with these students? The situations need not
     be terribly complex as these are relative beginners! Looking forward
     to your ideas..

     can be traced back to adolescence. I believe that these persistent
     adolescent forces are the best aspects of my old age".
