My mask of serenity at 5 weeks.

Charlie was born on April 28, 2004. He had jaundice and colic and weighed 6 pounds 9 oz. Six months later he weighed 20 pounds and was guffawing every time he saw the dog. Go figure!

Charlie's mom is proud to say that she has personally contributed over 6,500 ounces of milk (and counting) to this process, despite recurrent complications for the first 5 months of Charlie's life.

Both are alive and happily consuming baby product today thanks to the Silverlake Pump Station breastfeeding support group in Los Angeles, to whom this site is gratefully dedicated.
