Happy New Year fellow lactnetters!  I'm looking forward to a year of  more
breastfeeding families and continuing to learn from all of you. I've been
mostly a "lurker" on Lactnet since  Sept.'98 but feel like I have many new
friends and collegues.  Enough of the chatter, now down to business.  I have a
problem which the  Mom in my  support group has given permission for me to
share with you.  Seven month old has been solely BF except for receiving
several bottles of EBM while visiting family at 3 mo. of age.  No more bottles
until family  went out of town over Thanksgiving and left baby for several
days with G'mother along with  bottles of EBM.  Baby takes cereal and I
believe some vegs. and fruit, but will not drink anything, EBM, juice from
bottle or cup.  I know , SMART BABY! but.... Mom and Dad want to leave baby
with G'Mom in Feb. for 5 days while they go to a combined conference/holiday.
I have used the references  I have, Dr. Ruth Lawrences book, Breastfeeding and
Human Lactation, LLL Answer book and gone over all those suggestions with Mom
and even offered to come to her home wo see if I can get him interested in the
cup if not the bottle.  I feel really stupid about this , but will it really
harm the baby if he won't take liquids for 5 days?  The humorous part of this
tale is that Mom planned to Brstfeed for just 6  months.  That breastmilk
really IS powerful stuff isn't it!??!!  Now for the question.  I was trying to
rapidly ( don't think that's possible, tho) go through the posts that I'm
behind on  and in my haste deletead something I should have saved.  There was
a post  around  mid-December about  suggestions for  bfdg. positions for large
breasted women.  I think someone gave  an internet address.  If the person
posting that could e-mail me privately I would appreciate it.    I'm sorry for
such a long post.  TIA  from LaGrange, Georgia, USA ( where it's 40 deg. and
raining, but occasionally miss the Illinois snow that you' all are  probably
getting right now)
