Dear All,

Usually when I come onto Lactnet it is for a short visit, and this time I have continued longer than I intended.  Like many of you, I am time poor. When I can't contribute because of time pressures, I take a break - which I shall be doing today or tomorrow, when I go "nomail".

Before I take time out, I want to say that I've stayed on longer because of the continued ethos of sharing, the insights, and the citations of useful articles. May this long continue.

I shall be back later. Meantime, please copy items in my special interests to me, personaly. These include; milk-sharing, milk banking, wet-nursing, infant-feeding history, induced lactation, infant congenital conditions.

I'll be responding to messages for the next several hours before going "nomail".
