<p>I’m waiting for the condom thread. Condom crafts? (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, visit the tampax thread)</p>
<p>baseballmom…Health Bra Crunch is great! :)</p>
<p>How about: From Here to Maternity</p>
<p>No offense, I’m very fond of ya’ll, but I wouldn’t eat (or serve - yikes) ice cream made from my own breast milk, much less yours! </p>
<p>Momlinium Crunch?
Caramel Tittle Fudge?
Tit Roof Sundae?</p>

<p>Well, this WAS a long time ago, but when I used to attend La Leche League conferences, and physicians would make presentations, they would tell us that the success of a woman nursing a baby depends largely on the knowledge of her physician or the baby’s pediatrician. Then they would add that medical school used to provide maybe two or three hours of lecture on lactation, so many times physicians learned more about breastfeeding when either they or their wives breastfed. So if the physician or the physician’s wife was not successful, they were unlikely to be very knowledgable or supportive to their patients. I do hope medical school curriculum has changed regarding this in the last fifteen years.</p>
<p>Teriwtt,</p>
<p>I agree that male MD’s whose wives did not choose to breastfeed or did not do so successfully were not likely to be very supportive of their patients’ desire to breastfeed. I was a La Leche League leader years ago and found that to be true. Some of the leaders in my area tried offering pediatricians printed LLL brochures to place in their offices. I, of course, spoke to my own D’s doctor about our literature. He declined to take me up on the offer. He informed me that he had a nurse on his staff who counselled moms who called with BF concerns. The nurse in question had never had a child, much less nursed one, and had had no formal education in lactation management. The doctor himself had 3 bottle-fed children. This particular doctor was known to tell moms who expressed ANY concern about nursing to immediately supplement with bottles. Virtually all of the moms in his practice who were nervous about whether or not their babies were getting enough to eat ended up totally bottle-feeding. He had no clue how to support their efforts to BF. </p>
<p>The brief discussion he and I had regarding La Leche League led me to believe that he regarded lay support of new mothers to be of little value. He seemed to think that because he had an M.D., his advice was superior to anything that a mere “uneducated” mother could offer. He might have been suprprised to learn that LLL is considered to be THE expert organization in human lactation. LLL supports scholarly research and they have medical experts on board that are available to all leaders around the world. I know for a fact that all of the leaders I was acquainted with received many more hours of training in lactation than any of our local pediatricians. (Perhaps things have changed since my children were young, though I doubt it.)</p>
<p>Our local group did receive some vindication from a young female pediatrician some years back. She began coming to our meetings when her first child was just a few weeks old. Like so many young moms, she came looking for support and advice from more experienced women. She told me after she’d been attending for a few months that she had learned far more about BF from the leaders and the moms in our group than she had ever learned in medical school. Her husband had been against her attending our meetings at first. He was a neonatologist at our local Childrens’ Hospital. He could not understand why on earth his wife would want to hear BF advice from laywomen. He didn’t think that non-MD’s could possibly have anything to offer. His wife very much enjoyed being a part of LLL and convinced him that we offered something that only other moms could give and that we were VERY knowledgeable about BF. The husband was convinced and told his colleagues at Childrens’ that they should encourage new moms to seek out LLL.</p>
<p>Sorry for the hijack.</p>
<p>dancersmom-
Sooo, to loop this back to topic, are you proposing “La Leche for Letches” as the name for the ice cream flavor?</p>
<p>Good one jym.</p>
<p>How about “femme brulee”</p>
<p>(I love creme brulee ice cream)</p>
<p>^^^ or “femme moo-lee” swimcatsmom ;)</p>
<p>How about Dulce de Leche League?</p>
<p>I vote for Yummy Mummy</p>
<p>FYI –
At Coldstone Creamery, the cup sizes come in “Like It,” “Love It” and “Gotta Have It.” I will leave the application of this to the reader’s imagination. :D</p>
<p>S2 ans I have been chortling here – can’t believe I missed this thread til now! It is rivaling the meta-thread…</p>
<p>new flavor name: Tit for Tot</p>
<p>Melon Sorbet</p>
<p>I don’t think sorbet uses milk, Theresa, but I like the imagery! :D</p>
<p>How about “honey-do a la mode”?</p>
<p>I know I’m late to the thread, but I actually thought this had to be a joke, or something. Imagine my surprise when I went to the PETA website and it turned out to be true. </p>
<p>Are they TRYING to make themselves look even more LUNATIC fringe than they already do? Do they want people to just start laughing when anyone mentions PETA?(not that that isn’t already the case in many circles…)</p>
<p>Shaking my head…</p>
<p>Oh you are right Sorbet is vegan. Well they deserve a vegan option!</p>
