Breastfeeding: Why breastfeeding needs YOUR good P.R.

leaders and lactation counselors who may have helped you when you were a new breastfeeding mom. You may also want to visit ProMoM online (Promotion of Mothers Milk)for information and ideas on how to become a '3-minute activist' sending emails to companies to encourage them to support breastfeeding mothers and boycott companies who do not comply with the WHO code on formula advertising and promotion (like Nestle for instance).

There seems to be an increasing awareness and acceptance of breastfeeding as the norm in infant nutrition -- I hope I am not deluding myself by living in my 'granola' world. I don't think I'm that out of touch with reality. Look for books with positive images of breastfeeding (instead of bottle-feeding) to read to your children, give your children breastfeeding baby & mama dolls to play with instead of dolls with baby bottles. Pass on to the next generation the security and confidence that a woman's body is designed to give birth, nurture and nourish her children as nature intended.

For breastfeeding dolls visit the Attachments Catalog online. I received a set of these adorable dolls as a gift from a dear friend and my daugther adores her breastfeeding mama and toddler!

For childrens books with great breastfeeding images visit Breastfeeding Online. Here you will find a comprehensive list of both books for breastfeeding parents AND childrens books (scroll down the page) with positive images of breastfeeding to read to your children.

Also, please take a look at my list of Breastfeeding links for support, ideas, encouragement and education. Feel free to post your ideas and insights here by starting a discussion on this article.
