That's a great suggestion. For dads who are more likely to read less than a
whole book, LLLI has a pamphlet entitled *The Breastfeeding Father*
http://store.llli.org/public/profile/184  and a very cute book about the
size of an index card called *Fatherwise*
http://store.llli.org/public/profile/118 (note -- definitely NOT related to
Babywise, Toddlerwise, etc. by the Ezzos!) There's also one called
*Motherwise* http://store.llli.org/public/profile/157 . These give a
realistic picture of life with a young baby and are also useful for planning
LLL Series Meetings, if anyone is so inclined.

Freyja May, LLLL, just south of Michelle in CO where it is just as cold! I'm
wondering if they'll cancel the snowshoe trip for my 3rd grader if it
doesn't warm up by Friday.
