Have you stumbled across a great post on World Breastfeeding Week? Post it in the comments!
I liked this one a lot.

ReplyDeleteThank you for participating in World Breastfeeding Week! Yeah for another breastfeeder!
ReplyDeleteThis one wasn't written for World Breastfeeding Week, but it is hands-down the best post on breastfeeding I've ever read: The Backlash to Breast is Best.
