This list is for members of the OSSG community who are breastfeeding their infants or toddlers, or who are considering breastfeeding a baby in the future. Pre-op and post-op weight loss patients are welcome. Flames, criticism, and other unpleasantness is not. Thanks!

Before trying to join the group, please email the moderator and explain your interest in the group. I'm really sorry, but I've had a really hard time in keeping the perverts out, and perhaps this step will help. I do deny them membership whenever I can identify them, and remove them if I do find them in our member list. I'm really sorry if you attempt to join unsolicited and have hurt feelings when you get the "deny" message; I want this to be a SAFE group, and that means restricting it to pregnant and breastfeeding women who have had or who are considering having WLS, and to qualified breastfeeding professionals like midwives and lactaction consultants.

Thanks very much for your understanding and cooperation,
Julia Ziobro, OSSG-Breastfeeding Founder and Moderator
