I found a new use for diaper pins today, and thought that this was
 perhaps the only place in the world where the humour and ingenuity
 would be welcome!
 I saw a mum today whose sole problem was that she was bringing the
 breast to the baby instead of the baby to the breast.   I gave her
 the reasoning, then  reminded her gently throughout our time
 together.   When this failed, I reminded her by touching her
 shoulders to keep her back, when this failed, I tried a quip
 "Mohammed must come to the mountain,  the mountain cannot go to
 Mohammed".  When this failed, I asked for a diaper pin.....and
 proceeded to pin the back of her shirt to the couch!
 We both had a good laugh,  solved the problem, and dad has pledged
 pin and unpin her until she remembers without the tug on her shirt.
 They called this evening and all is going swimmingly!
 How low-tech can you go!

 fondly,
