|
11:08:09 |
Host_Housepoet |
FORMAL |
|
11:08:16 |
MOD_ariana |
But we do need more mentors! |
|
11:08:23 |
Host_Housepoet |

|
11:08:35 |
MOD_ariana |
If you or someone you know is an experienced and
educated breastfeeder |
|
11:08:53 |
MOD_ariana |

11:09:57 |
MOD_ariana |
We usually ask that our mentors have 6 months experience
so you'd be welcome to apply |
|
11:10:18 |

We like to match up new moms with mentors who have had
similar experience |

replacing the onslaught of formula" - there isn't actual
formula in the media - maybe edit a bit to something
like "replacing the onslaught of pro-formula
advertising"" |
