National Breastfeeding Awareness Week

This week in the UK it's National Breastfeeding Awareness Week.  It's not about guilt-tripping anyone or being holier-than-thou.  It's all about raising awareness, providing up to date and relevant information and support, and NORMALISING breastfeeding. Here are a few links with helpful information:





To show my support, here is a collection of photos of me feeding my daughter.  Hopefully by doing this I will demonstrate that it's nothing to be embarrassed about, or hidden and that you don't have to expose your entire breast in order to do it!

    Dam!
    I never got to do this.
    But since my mother was a drug-taking, chain-smoking, under-nourished, coffee-swilling lunatic, perhaps it was for the best.
    I will never know.

    Lovely to see :)
