Dear Friends:

Lee asks an excellent question.

Derrick Jelliffe is one that was quoted as saying "breastfeeding is a
confidence game."  I want to support the new mother to go for it all,
breastfeed on cue, keep her baby with her s2s as much as
possible.................and have 1 or 2 weight checks in the first week
after hospital discharge. I didn't get a crystal ball with my certification.
I have (and I am sure that many on this list have also) seen too many
miracles and amazing things to be able to predict anything, despite previous
history or current diagnoses.

warmly,
Nikki
