[blparent] question about brest feeding

[Elizabeth Cooks]

That is the right spelling.  My son is the only one of my children who got 
to use one of those, and i love it.  Venessa, if you have a la leche league 
in your area, I would recommend you get in touch with one.  They will also 
be of tremendous hel to you in your breastfeeding eforts.
