Please note, the baby in the picture *is* a breastfed baby.  Far be it from
me to pull pacifiers out of other people's childrens' mouths.  For
those of
you who can't read Norwegian, it says the person in the picture was named
'Midwife of the Year 2008' for Norway, chosen by a jury appointed by a
commercial magazine for new parents, on the basis of letters written by
mothers.   They got 300 nominees for 2008, and decided that they should
focus on someone who works with breastfeeding support post partum.  Guess
that narrowed it down quite a bit :-)

So, tomorrow the mother and I will be on an early morning talk show in Oslo,
and they will be quite surprised when I pull out my cloth breast and a doll
and demonstrate latch, in response to whatever on earth they ask me (thanks,
Esther!).

A day like this does wonders for one's motivation, I must say.  Best part
by
far: all the parents and their small children who made a splendiferous show
of support for the notion that breastfeeding matters.

cheers,
