One of the nicest things happened yesterday (don't we all need such days?). I thought it might help others, or give them ideas. One of my clients (happily satisfied and enjoying breastfeeding very much) stopped by to return a pump she no longer needs and in the course of returning it, paid me for a first visit to two of her pregnant friends so that they can have an early pp home visit as soon as possible after the baby'S BIRTH. She paid for them and now all I have to do is wait fot he moms to call. I gave her two gift certificates to give to the moms which include my business card.) In the past, I have had moms pay for a friend to receive a 3-session private breastfeeding class, but this was a first having someone pay for a visit fee. I can't think of a nicer or potentially more useful shower gift (do you think I am biased?). If this gives others an idea, great! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% "We are all faced with a series of great opportunities %% %% brilliantly disguised as impossible situations." %% %% definition of a lactation consulting service. %% %% Kathleen G.
