Jenny,

Is your child's last name Morris?  Or does it start with B, hence the bottle
request?  Sorry just a bit confused.  I was thinking if it is B, why
wouldn't a great Book about Breastfeeding suffice instead?

Hello all!  I brief intro since I've not posted in awhile.  I'm an LLLL, WIC
Peer Counselor, and new IBCLC in the Charleston, WV area.  I've got three
children and my 'other' field is playing the oboe professionally.  Here's
what's happening:  my sixth-grader's teacher sent home a note explaining
that instead of a gift exchange, the students would collect baby items for
newborns  to put into gift bags to be donated to needy parents at local
hospital.   What the children are to bring to donate depends on the first
letter of their last name.  Guess what my child is asked to bring:  one new
bottle and a teething ring!  (Pacifiers are also on the list, though not for
my child's initial.)  Of course, her teacher recently had a baby, so I guess
we don't have to ask how she's feeding her little one, do we?  I'll seach
the archives for Elisheva's eloquent advice on letter writing, but just
thought I'd invite any other wisdom anyone may wish to share.  Needless to
say, my child won't be contributing any bottles!
