Let us now pause for station identification

Periodically, I'll be making a post like this, to help keep this blog and myself on track.

Welcome to the Human Lactation Information blog, or HLI for short. This blog started as a personal journal on another site, as just a place where I noted articles, information, research, and the like for my own personal use. I moved over to Blogger in early June, as it seemed the blog was a better format for my purposes.

I don't focus on current items, though they certainly represent the majority of what you'll see here. If it catches my eye and I want to remember seeing it, I'll note it, so pretty much anything to do with breastfeeding is fair game.

If I have anything to say about an item, I generally make a comment rather than editorialize within the body of the post. I welcome your comments, and indeed encourage them - so don't be shy. (I do ask that you sign your name, rather than leaving an anonymous comment, because I want to encourage discussion and dialogue!)

I use my real name because I am accountable for what I say in this blog. I work at a local agency as a breastfeeding counselor and am active in a local non-profit that supports childbirthing and breastfeeding families. I do not presume to speak for either of these organizations, however, and nothing I write here should be construed as anything other than my own personal opinion.

I now return you to your regular programming. ;)
