Why I’m Proudly Nursing a Preschooler

July 18, 2011

Signing “I love you.” After noticing a tweet about it, I just read Breastfeeding: How long is too long? I asked the same exact question a while ago for this post: The Many Benefits of Extended Breastfeeding. I’m still breastfeeding my son, who is now 4 years and 8 months old, so of course I [...]

Take That, Facebook: Beautiful Breastfeeding Photos

May 27, 2011

{source} Facebook keeps deleting pictures of moms nursing their children when they have been reported as obscene and is even going as far as suspending accounts (like The Leaky B@@B breastfeeding support group, which is back online after a huge protest). I’m sick of Facebook not taking a stand that breastfeeding is normal and not [...]

Facebook Deletes Leaky Boob Support Group for Breastfeeding Moms

January 2, 2011

I just found out that Facebook deleted the Leaky Boob page, a support group of moms who helped each other out about questions concerning breastfeeding. Their justification? They deemed some picture that were posted of moms breastfeeding their children as obscene. COME ON! It’s ridiculous and such a sad commentary on our society in America [...]

September 19, 2010

I attended my first blogging conference a few weeks ago — BlogHer ’10 was in New York City and I had to take advantage of it being so close to home. I only went on Saturday, and it was a whirlwind of a day! I got to hang out and chat with all three of [...]

Babble, Similac, WebMD, and Nestle Work Together to Sabotage Breastfeeding Moms

September 9, 2010

I don’t blog about breastfeeding as much as I used to, but I don’t want you to think that I’m not still doing it — I am still nursing Landon. He is slowly weaning himself and doing it less and less, as you would expect from an almost 4-year-old boy. I guess I’m truly an [...]

Gisele Bundchen, We Don’t Need a Breastfeeding Law — Mothers Need Resources and Encouragement

August 15, 2010

I was sitting next to The Feminist Breeder and the Crunchy Domestic Goddess, watching Annie of PhD in Parenting on a panel about “radical” blogging a week ago at the BlogHer conference, when I first heard about the uproar that resulted from model Gisele Bundchen calling for a “breastfeeding law.” I adore those three bloggers [...]

Breastfeeding, the Nestle Boycott, and BlogHer 2010

August 5, 2010

If I don’t write this post now, BlogHer 2010 will be over before I get to it. It’s World Breastfeeding Week and the La Leche League’s World Breastfeeding Week Celebrations (WBWC) are in full force, and I haven’t even blogged about that. I’m itching to write my BlogHer post after reading many interesting post from [...]

Traveling to Germany with a Little Boy — Part 3

July 20, 2010

The second day of our visit to my girlfriend’s farm we spent at the local pool. For such a small town in the country, they have a very sophisticated pool with tons of water features, and the boys were in and out of the water for four hours. Since I didn’t have a bathing suit [...]

June 28, 2010

We did not attend the most beautiful beach wedding on Nantucket this weekend. I did not get a terrible sunburn on my arms and back on the second day on the island. You should see my back! Where is the aloe? I would never not put enough sunscreen on myself — everyone knows how much [...]

June 2, 2010

Once again, I’ve been spending a lot of time on Twitter today — connecting with like-minded people, trying to help out, retweeting informative and funny tweets — and I came across the #holisticmoms Twitter party hosted by @HolisticMomsNet. One of their tweets led me to this beautiful video: Nursing the Future. I just love social [...]

Breastfeeding is Natural but Often Doesn’t Come Naturally

October 21, 2009

I was quoted in one of our local news papers, the Journal News, when I was a participant in the Global Breastfeeding Challenge on October 3, and the writer did such a terrible job with the article that I had to write a Letter to the Editor. There were several things wrong with the article, [...]

October 3, 2009

Today, I was approached by Annie, another breastfeeding supporter who blogs at PhD in Parenting, about problems she had with some of the BlogHer ads that were running on her blog.
