Well Morgan, Anytime, anywhere any audience I'm happy to speak (and argue)
and whatever other adjectives you can come up with about this. It is THAT
important. I'm cheap (ie generally free) too ! Will do interviews on the
phone (in any timezone) or if you can fly me there I'll come in person. I
did actually have one radio interviewer once, actually work it out by
himself. He said, well if breastfeeding is normal does that mean that there
are negatives with using formula. Hello! A genius. There aren't many around.
