I am experimenting with more community outreach type stuff to the 
promote our breastfeeding group, or more accurately, to help pregnant 
women meet nursing women.  A birth options discussion group was wildly 
successful, and this weekend I have a babywearing drop in/out class at 
the back of a local child-friendly coffee shop.

What else are you all doing to catch women early?  I wish we had a 
Babies R Us or something like that here, with the classes they offer.
