When Esther Goldstein launched her battle to save a renowned North York breastfeeding clinic two weeks ago, she opened a new inbox on her home computer.
Today, that inbox has been flooded with nearly 2,000 e-mails -- signatures and letters of support for the outpatient clinic that is run out of North York General Hospital by celebrated breastfeeding expert Jack Newman.
