If it hadn't been for the lactation consultants at the hospital where I 
had DS, I might still be breastfeeding but I might have had to go 
through a LOT more problems than I did.  But, having been an RN since 
1992 I know how quickly a person can get burned out.  You are doing this 
because it's something you are passionate about!  I understand that very 
well.  Look how far it's come since I was born in the 60's, at least 
there is good help available in most places, whether from LC's or LLL or 
whatever! 

OK I'm done with my little pep talk... :)
