FAO: Charlotte M. - Breastfeeding Myths
Hi Charlotte. How have you been? I haven't seen you on mkb in a while,
so I've posted and sent e-mail. Some of us are trying to figure out what happened to the "breastfeeding myths" that we were composing as a group about 2 to 2 1/2 years ago. I seem to remember that Shell was going to send you all the text she had, in the hopes that someone could volunteer to compile them. Did you ever get them? Can you help? Thanks, -Patty, mom to Corinne [Mar-98] and Nathan [May-00] and stepmom to Victoria [Apr-90] |

Charlotte M. - Breastfeeding Myths
"P. G. Chavez" wrote in message ... Hi Charlotte. How have you been? I've been crazy busy! Some of you may remember my plans to found a perinatal school -- well, I did it. It is the hardest project I have undertaken in my life (well, other than trying to come to terms with the fact that Brigitte is now seven, she's not weaned, and I really am going to breastfeed her into her college years). It's pretty amazing work though and I am SO proud to have the (*ahem*) first school of perinatal services in North America. I haven't seen you on mkb in a while, so I've posted and sent e-mail. Cool. I got the email, so I came on here to come see. waves Some of us are trying to figure out what happened to the "breastfeeding myths" that we were composing as a group about 2 to 2 1/2 years ago. I seem to remember that Shell was going to send you all the text she had, in the hopes that someone could volunteer to compile them. Alas. Shell's computer apparently came to a bad end, taking all of the compiled myths with it. It was a pretty devastating loss because we all worked so hard on that project -- and it was SO cool to see so many complete strangers working on a common project without ever meeting face to face once. Regrettably, my old computer died and even took my own three researched myths, so I couldn't even offer up the work I did. When Shell told me that the myths were gone, I ran to dejanews to see what I could dig out because we had all, at some time or another, posted our completed myths. the MKB archives do have all of the myths, but I found that digging everything out as a one-woman excavation too intensive. Our myths got posted over the span of several months, including re-writes and comments from the group. Mix it all in with the usual threads, plus the trolls (good old Milkfetish... I sure miss him), and you get a very crazy dig for the myths. Had we all used the word "myth" in our subject line, the dig would be much faster, but since no one forsaw the loss of all that work, no one organized the posts so neatly. I suspect that if a few people were to get into digging out the myths in some organized fashion, like by breaking the search into weeks or some such thing, most or all of the myths could be resurrected. If the "team" is interested in digging out the myths, I'm happy to help polish and proof them. I had at one point had dreams of printing them as a wonderful tribute to the power of breastfeeding support and I'd still love to see that happen! Thanks for contacting me about this! Charlotte |
