Hello all,

I've posted a few times, but don't remember whether I've properly introduced
myself.  I am a La Leche League Leader in Georgia, mother of Emily, age
three, and Daniel age four and a half.

I'm working to establish a Breastfeeding Peer Counseling Program in my area,
just at the fundraising stage, and I'm also developing a relationship with
the WIC nutritionist in my county.  I've offered to help with breastfeeding
classes.  Now I need suggestions from all of you who have taught classes to
WIC mothers.  In particular, how do you impress upon them the importance of
the decision to breastfeed.  I realize that many will remain unconvinced,
but what have you all found to be helpful?  What methods are most successful?

Thanks in advance.
