        Lucky woman!  I was on an ordinary diet at the time.  I did not lose
weight while nursing each child (until he was 19 months old.)  My cream was
less than 1/2 oz in an 8 oz bottle!  And my babies did not get fat.

        I am responding to requests for scanning the breastmilk info from the
Geigy Handbook, but the scanner software is very picky about graphs with
small print and italics.  I am still investigating tricks.  I may just send
it as a tiff file or a bmp.  Any advice or preferences?
