My first post is a request for assistance. I've been lurking around LACTNET
for a few weeks now and have enjoyed and learned much from the posts I have
read. To introduce myself, I have been around and about breastfeeding
promotion/support for 7 years now, most recently designated as District
Breastfeeding Coordinator for the Rappahannock Area HD in Fredericksburg VA.
Unfortunately that is not my sole responsibility as my position title is a
staff nutritionist. Hopefully will be taking THE EXAM (finally) in 2000.
Have 2 breastfed boys now school-aged and smart (what else would one
expect?)

I am doing a presentation in September for the LLL area conference in VA and
need slides of folks in traditional societies, various ethnic backgrounds,
breastfeeding in their native cultures. I KNOW these must exist because I've
seen similar at Georgetown at LC training a few years back. I however, do
not have any photos of my own that I can use for such a "cultural overview"
presentation, have searched other sources over the Internet (for hours
and hours) and find written resources but still have no pics. Presentation
is alloted only 1 hr so this truly is taking a peek of the minutest tip of
the iceberg.

Please reply to me PRIVATELY as this week, due to a project deadline, I am
NOMAIL.

Thanks so much,
Joanne Booth MS, RD, CNS
