I wish to acknowledge a special thanks to Jack Newman my breastfeeding hero; to Maureen Minchin and Kathleen Auerbach my breastfeeding gurus and Maureen Fjield my breastfeeding mentor for all their breastfeeding expertise, knowledge and support. For without each and every one of them, I would still be uninformed and I would probably still believe in the bottle culture. I come from a region where breastfeeding was non existent so to speak. I believe that the breastfeeding rate has somewhat improved since then in that region. I received no instruction, nor did I hear a word about breastfeeding when in nursing school. I witnessed my first breastfeeding experience at age 27. Now having reached mid-life, I breath, speak, dream, and live breastfeeding. So, how did I become a breastfeeding convert? I have to admit that all this happened when I slept with K.A. and M.M. Hum ... Yes, this is a breastfeeding confession. Many a night my husband caught me sleeping with Kathleen Auerbach's and Maureen Minchin's breastfeeding manuals. I could not let them out of my sight because I could actually understand what I was reading. And they still remain security blankets for me. A bientot, Rosemarie St. Paul, Alberta, Canada
