I have answered Qs on bf for several years on and off for http://www.ukparents.co.uk as a journalist - ie I get paid (not much!). I have started doing it for the BBC website parenting section http://www.bbc.co.uk/parenting. I also do it as a volunteer for our NCT site (with colleagues): http://www.nctpregnancyandbabycare.com and informally on email lists and talk boards. It is a good way for me to read about what is going on, and backs up the knowledge I get from the phone calls I take. I also get sent Qs privately from people whose friends/sisters/colleagues have been in touch before with their babies. I suppose on average I answer about 10-15 Qs a week. I like doing it. It's different from phone or face to face stuff.
