Hilary Jacobson CH.HU.SI. has been living abroad in Switzerland for thirty years. She has a Swiss degree in music teaching and performance, writes fiction and poetry, and is married with four children. Extreme low milk supply challenges led to an interest in foods and herbs used traditionally to support lactation, and to continued research and engagement in motherhood issues. In 1997, Hilary published her basic findings on galactagogues in “curare,” a German academic journal of ethno-medicine. In 2000, she became a certified Swiss holistic lactation consultant, a degree that includes training in nutritional and herbal studies to support the mom and baby. In 2004, she published her book Mother Food. Hilary has been participating at MOBI since 2000 and is a founding member of MOBI Motherhood International. In Switzerland, she is a founding member of “The Other Mother Care,” (Die Andere Mütterberatung), an agency offering both standard medical and alternative medical information and support to mothers.

Adeline Letizia is a French married mother of four little boys. She has a background in chemical engineering and supply chain management and later moved to the US to join her husband and get her MBA. Now Adeline stays home to take care of her young children.
When she got pregnant in 2009 for the first time, she became very enthusiastic about the idea of breastfeeding her baby. She had questions about a woman's ability to produce enough milk for her child; she looked for information online and asked in her friends' circle. All she was told was that every woman could breastfeed. Therefore she stopped worrying. She thought she would just have to put her baby at the breast and that would work out well! When her son was born, things turned out differently. Her milk did not come in and she had to supplement with formula from day 2. She was feeling so disappointed that she was not able to feed her own child that she started doing extensive research on the Internet to understand why. She ran across MOBI and joined the online support group 2 months after her son's birth. She found huge relief in finding out other mothers in her situation and is very grateful for the support MOBI has offered her since then. Adeline has been an active member of MOBI since March 2010 and became part of the moderation team in 2011.
