World Breastfeeding Week: August 1 - 7
One of the things I look forward to most about having a baby is breastfeeding.
Although I've not yet joined the ranks of nursing moms, I already feel quite strongly about it and God help anyone who tried to get between my kid and my boob, when the time comes.
Unfortunately, too many women are not educated about the benefits of breastfeed or, if they plan to breastfeed, do not receive the support and guidance that they need to be successful.
The theme of this year's World Breastfeeding Week is Breastfeeding: The First Hour.
Initiation of breastfeeding within the 1st hour of birth is the first and most vital step towards reducing infant and under-five mortality, by reducing the overwhelmingly high neonatal mortality rate.
Save ONE million babies – beginning with one action, one hour support and one message: beginning breastfeeding within the 1st hour of birth!
World Breastfeeding Week is sponsored by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA), a global network of individuals and organisations concerned with the protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding worldwide.
I trained you well. :)

ReplyDeleteHappy World Breastfeeding week from a mom who nursed in the first hour and is still nursing my 3 year old! Who would have thought...not me. It's still wonderful though. It is one of the things I have loved about motherhood as well. It is such a nice way to bond with your babies.
ReplyDeleteI am all about breasts....I mean breastfeeding
ReplyDeleteAnd what would be even better if, after the baby is done breastfeeding, the milk turned into beer. The good kind, not the cheap, domestic crap
ReplyDeleteYep, that's my girl.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, though, honey. If it were coming from my boobs, I'm pretty sure it would be cheap and domestic.
Oh honey, you ain't cheap and you sure ain't domestic. But I love you!
