share with TTBN: LLLI Center for Breastfeeding Information Journal Abstract of the Month for February 2007 "Why We Develop Food Allergies" Author: Per Brandtzaeg American Scientist. 2007 Jan/Feb 95: 28-35 __________ share on lactnet: http://www.lalecheleague.org/docs/founders_bio1.pdf When asked about challenges she and the other Founders faced when they started La Leche League, Mary Ann (Kerwin) commented, "The main challenge was women's attitude toward breastfeeding. Women would ask us, 'Why would you want to do that [breastfeed]?'" When the Founders would talk to women about breastfeeding, one of the replies they got was, "I will try, but I know I won't succeed!" Mary Ann added that there was a strong negative societal environment related to breastfeeding. She ended with the words "We trusted our instincts and followed our hearts, and very soon we knew we were right!" _____ share on chemung Vally chat list: Founders' bios http://www.lalecheleague.org/docs/founders_bio1.pdf *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html Mail all commands to [log in to unmask] To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or [log in to unmask]) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet or ([log in to unmask]) To reach list owners: [log in to unmask]
