Dear Friends: Great letter, Arly! I especially like this question: "Yet, how do you suppose it ever became acceptable to publicly chastise women for feeding their babies? Where do you think this idea initially came from?" What a terrific question, Arly!! Right, how have attitudes and beliefs and norms and values changed so that a mother feeding her baby can be harassed? warmly, warmly, Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE Maternal-Child Adjunct Faculty Union Institute and University Film Reviews Editor, Journal of Human Lactation Support the WHO Code and the Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative *********************************************** 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.
