Barbara-

Thank you so much for your ideas of grants and contacting the LLL. I

will do that first thing tomorrow. I wasn't able to get a hold of the LC

at the Naval Hospital - maybe they will have a program also.

I have to admit that I was kind of disappointed during my stay in the

hospital...not once did anyone check my positioning or see if I had any

bf questions. Good thing I had bf my other two and knew what I was

doing!!

I wanted to give Vicki some more information about pump rental. I

don't know what type of pump you are trying to rent, but when I ran a

Medela pump rental station (about 2 years ago)we were able to grant one

pump a month free of charge. In others words, every month I was able

to waive the rental fee on one pump. The rental was credited to me by

Medela in attempt to get pumps into the hands (or on the breasts) of

women who need them. Try to call Medela pump stations in your area to

see if you can get a grant. Also, I always had extra tubing and parts

sitting around. The catch here is that unless autoclaved, these pieces

can't legally be resold or reused. But the reality is that the chance

of cross contamination is infintesmal. Anyway, they might be relectant

to give you a used kit, but I though I'd pass that on. Good luck!

Medela #1-800-TELL-YOU. Does LLL in you area rent pumps? As a

non-profit, they probably grant or discount pumps.

To Amy, my husband never wanted to buy a crib, but gave in after I

cried. (We laugh about it now) My first barely used it after the two

horrible nights we let her cry it out. Since then our babies have

always slept with us. We didn't have a crib for #2 and don't have one

now. Try reading THE FAMILY BED. The book OUR BABIES, OURSELVES by

Meredith Small has a whole section on sleeping practice across many

cultures and surprise, surprise, most people sleep with their babies.

It is mucho beneficial to breastfeeding as mom and baby don't have to

be fully roused two or three or four times a night.

By the way, how radical is this group? I have some information about

the hazards of artificial baby milk (aka formula) I'd like to share if

people are interested. I don't want to step on toes here but as Wendi

mentioned--Education for Life.

Barbara I would love to have this. What I am looking for is infant mortality

& aim, (artificial Infant Milk). Does anyone have any???? My sister did not

believe me when I told her that 4 babies die each day in US because they were

not BF.

I wouldn't call this group " radical " but I would definitely say most of the

mothers here are extremely open minded.

I would personally love to read what you have about ABM. :) I know that

when someone first told me that there were risks to formula, I was quite

surprised. I was even more surprised that there are no safeguards for

consumers to learn about these risks... and thought that there would be

some fairness or truth in advertising. How naive I was.

This was the sole reason that I have become a breastfeeding

advocate/activist. What I learned was astounding!
