<like Valerie, I was struck by this phrase you used and I think it a
useful
way to refer to the attitude behind the practice.>

Magda,

Someone else wrote me and asked me if I coined that term. Emphatically
not. In fact, I'm sure I picked it up on Lacnet. Does anyone know where
it originated?

I thought I had seen it used by Marie Davis, who has much, much of value
to say about this subject. But even she said to me that she found it a
strange term. Check the archives.

<Harvesting moms? What a strange way to put it. These moms are adamant
that
they are breastfeeding. I prefer to call it breastmilk feeding.
The web site is www.pumpingmoms.org
The e-mail list can be reached through www.yahoogroups.com under
pumpmoms.
If I can help you let me know. Many of the moms are going into theri
second
year of pumping. The dedication amazes me!!>
