Diane, I owned the article that Katherine Dettwyler mentioned, but those that you cited were completely news to me. I think I'm about as Catholic as they come, and my husband and I are both avid readers of the Catholic literature, but we've never heard of the publication that you mentioned. Can you tell us where we should write/call to subscribe? Particularly if they have a lot of breastfeeding articles, I'd like to be in the know on that particular magazine. Frankly, I think Holy Mother the Church really needs to promote breastfeeding. With all of the energy from the Pope on the year of the family and natural family planning, is sure seems like breastfeeding fits nicely into *both* of those topics. I have a few contacts in higher places; maybe I need to make a little noise. -- Marie Biancuzzo, RN MS Perinatal Nurse Consultant PO Box 1562 Phone: 703-758-0092 Herndon, Virginia 22070-1562 email: [log in to unmask]
