Today, I met a woman from Liberia who has a  constant stream of female
relatives coming to her house. They sleep over. They  clean her house. They
cook
food for everyone. They bathe her, and massage her.  They watch her other
children. Her job is just to breastfeed this new baby.
    They will do this for a month.
    I wish every new mother could have such  community/family support.
    warmly,
Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE
I'm moving! And with NIkki's permission, I am going to send this to all my
female relatives, who are coming for Christmas.

Mother of a 7 month old who could very well use of month of this even now.
