Tina, What are the details for the Adelaide Breasfest? At last I can participate!!!! Jackie ps. The other night I was at a family dinner and was holding Ena who was a bit grizzly when my 2and a half year old nephew looked at her and said " Jack I think she wants your boobs" and watched me feed her with a look of satisfaction that he was right. ----- Original Message ----- From: Duncan Pettman To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 8:52 AM Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] Breastfest 2004 Melbourne Yes Adelaide will be doing breastfest again. Actually the idea is for a national record to be set and so each ABA branch is holding a breastfest simultaneously around the country and will be 'attached' and counted at the same time. Hmmmm now that I say that Im not sure that every branch is participating. You can get info from your state branch president, your local group leader or state office if they have one, ie Queensland, NSW, Vic or SA. Of course you'd all have contacts because your all financial members right!......;)   Im sure you could also contact Barb or myself privately if you wanted more specific info.   Cheers Tina     Tina Pettman Mum to Seth (13), Morgan (12) & Brontė (7) Breastfeeding counsellor ABA Onkaparinga Group (SA/NT) Director, Australian Breastfeeding Association mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] www.breastfeeding.asn.au   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Denise Hynd Sent: Monday, 5 July 2004 10:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Breastfest 2004 Melbourne Dear Barbara Can you tell us if other states are having a go at the record again also??
