The other day I got a call from the head nurse at a local obstetric 
practice.  She asked me if I had any breastfeeding info suitable to be 
used as handouts for moms.  I told her I had delivered stacks of such 
things to her office every six months for the last three years (with 
food, to get me in the door), and I bet they were all stashed in a file 
drawer somewhere.

I went out of my comfort zone to make those deliveries, baking cookies 
or whatever to go with them, and it would all have been for naught, 
except that the day I got that phone call, one of their pregnant 
patients looked through her goody bag in the waiting room and demanded 
to know why on earth there was no breastfeeding info in there :)

So, yep, it's all about empowering the moms in this realm, too.
