I don't think that most people realize that they are 'inconvenient' until AFTER they have had them. When they see a friend or family members baby, it may appear to be a lot easier then it is. Most people don't talk openly about the hard things that come with having a baby. I surely think the hormones involved in natural birth and breastfeeding help women get through these 'inconvenient' times. *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
