ening ear and welcoming arms. This issue of the Breastfeeding Mother Support E-Newsletter, Vol 15, No 2 celebrates the role of the grandmother in breastfeeding success. Read the stories of the roles grandmothers have played in the lives of mothers around the world. If you are lucky enough to have had the loving support of your grandmother in your breastfeeding journey, give her a hug and thank her. And if you are now a grandmother, be your grandbaby’s number one cheerleader, and find ways to provide loving support for his or her breastfeeding parent. It is a legacy worth pursuing!<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:black"><span> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:black;background:white"> </span><i style="font-weight:inherit;outline:0px"><b><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;border:1pt none windowtext;padding:0in">IN THIS ISSUE</span></b></i><span style="color:black"><span></span></span></p><p style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;background:white;vertical-align:baseline;outline:0px;max-width:100%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><i style="font-weight:inherit;outline:0px"><b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:black;border:1pt none windowtext;padding:0in"> Editors’ Letter</span></b></i></p><ul style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><li><span style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;outline:0px;color:black;border:1pt none windowtext;padding:0in"><a href="http://waba.org.my/breastfeeding-mother-support-e-newsletter-english-v15n2/#01" style="color:rgb(5,99,193);font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;outline:0px" target="_blank">Natalia Smith and Melissa Vickers</a> </span><br></li></ul><p style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;background:white;vertical-align:baseline;outline:0px;max-width:100%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><i style="font-weight:inherit;outline:0px"><b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:black;border:1pt none windowtext;padding:0in">Generational WISDOM: Grandmothers and Breastfeeding Advisors SPOTLIGHT</span></b></i></p><ul style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><li><a href="http://waba.org.my/breastfeeding-mother-support-e-newsletter-english-v15n2/#11" style="color:rgb(5,99,193);font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;outline:0px" target="_blank">Inherited Treasure: Mexican Grandmothers Share their Passion with Breastfeeding, La Leche League ReGoodies (Mexico)</a></li><li><a href="http://waba.org.my/breastfeeding-mother-support-e-newsletter-english-v15n2/#12" style="color:rgb(5,99,193);font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;outline:0px" target="_blank">Secrets of Breastfeeding from Global Moms in the Know, Michaeleen Doucleff (USA)</a><span style="color:black;font-family:Calibr
