This is really really really important!  I got this e-mail from ABC News 20/20
this morning.  I spoke to Ms. Hirsh, who is researching this piece.  She asked
me to put the word out that she is looking for moms who are currently
breastfeeding 3+ year-old children.  She has already spoken to some "experts"
(pediatricians, I think) who have told her that this is not a widespread
phenomenon, but she suspects that there is a lot of closet nursing going on.

Please call her number (she will call you right back), or email her if you are
interested in being involved in this story.  Please forward this message to
Parent-L, RadMamas, TLC, and any other attachment-parenting/extended
breastfeeding lists you think will contact other moms for her to interview.

I already gave her contact information for Kathy Dettwyler (for
anthropological perspectives) and Liz Baldwin (for legal issues)

Subject:       Breastfeeding a child 3 years or older


My name is Stefanie Hirsh and I work at ABC News 20/20.  I'm looking for
information and for women who breastfeed their children when they are 3, 4, and
5 years of age.  Could you possibly help me?  My phone number is 212-456-6165.
I'd be happy to call you back so you don't have to pay for the call, or you can
call me collect.

Thanks for you help,
Stefanie
