Greetings all - I just wanted to let you know that I have recently taken on the role of 'community leader' (cl) for the parentsplace message board "working and pumping". If any of you are working with moms who are going back to work or are already regularly pumping, this is another resource you could direct them towards. I try to use the information gleaned from reading Lactnet and other breastfeeding resources to keep misinformation from spreading on the board. I don't have time to read every post, but I do what I can to keep the information accurate and help moms meet their supply needs with a maximal amount of breastfeeding and baby- contact. I think it's a big plus for working moms committed to breastfeeding to find community and support and realize they're not alone in their committment to provide 100% human milk to their babies even if they have to work. The board has little rewards (gold, silver, bronze etc. ribbons) for making it to certain milestones, and the women who post there are genuinely interested in helping others succeed. The web link is <http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ppworkpump>. ivillage and parentsplace are commercial, and there are pop-up ads, but I have not seen any on this board for formula, which is good. I have no financial stake in this at all, it's strictly volunteer, but I found the message board to be quite helpful when I was pumping for my first. No disparaging remarks about working mothers please - just wanted to get the information out that this resource is available. Breastfeeding.com also has a good message board on "Breastfeeding and Working Outside the Home". I also have the email [log in to unmask] that I use for answering working/pumping questions - feel free to give that out as well (everything is free). Cheers, Kirsten Berggren, PhD and aspiring LC. *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
