TV show seeks mothers who are cross nursing, researcher seeks mothers who have induced lactation.

A national magazine and a national television show (now doesn't that make you curious?) are working on a piece about cross nursing, and are looking for moms to interview.  A while back I wrote about watching a similar segment on a morning show at the dentist's office waiting room, and the brief conversation that ensued.   

I have to admit that I always get a little nervous when I hear about a TV show focusing on some facet of the breastfeeding experience which is a little less mainstream, but I've been told that the piece will be respectful.  Here are the details:

A national parenting magazine and a national morning show are teaming up on a story about cross-nursing that will air later this month, and they're looking for moms who would be interested in sharing their experiences on camera.  If you are currently cross-nursing - breastfeeding a friend or relative's baby - please email with a short description of your cross-nursing experiences and a phone number where you can be reached by the producer of this segment.  No travel would be required for the interview - a camera crew would visit your home to tape the piece. 

And Lenore of the website Ask Lenore, is looking for individuals who have induced lactation for her doctoral research.  Lenore's website is a fantastic resource for mothers who want to induce lactation:

Individuals who have induced lactation within the last three years are being sought to participate in a study being conducted by Lenore Goldfarb, B. Comm., B. Sc., Dip. C., IBCLC, for her doctoral research. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the practices and outcomes of women who followed a protocol or procedure to induce lactation to provide breastmilk to their baby and the experiences they have had. Study participants would complete an internet-based survey.  Contact Lenore for more information.
