Betty Wagner Spandikow

[Rockslinger]

Her life taught us NOT to be afraid to challenge established practices, conventional wisdom and the status quo and millions of healthy babies owe her a big thank you. Rest in peace, Betty.

Forgive my ignorance Rockslinger, but who was Betty Wagner Spandikow?

One of the co-founders of the la Leche League.

At the time formula feeding was all the thing, given all the heath and other benefits we now know come with breast feeding, a lot of us can probably thank her.
