I am mustering my courage to start on the internet path! I am an IBCLC and an herbalist in private practice. Some info on herbs on Lactnet has me concerned. I would like to offer my services if anyone has questions. My e-mail address is [log in to unmask] I would also like to comment on the "fogginess" issue. We often try to see things through scientific eyes. Maybe the experience of birth and early parenting and BF is more of an instinctive, spiritual experience. That is how I view this phenomenon, not necessarily a learning period, but rather a time the mother and baby communicate on a level beyond words. I have seen many, many times how a woman can go to a place deep within herself and find the power to birth, it is in that sacred moment that she can find the strength for mothering,parenting and coping with life's difficult times. Don't want to sound too preachy,thanks for the opportunity to connect with you all! Donna Walls,RN.CCE,IBCLC,Herbalist Dayton, Ohio
