Why: Thinking of ways that we can create positive change in the communities that mothers, fathers, partners and new families of all designs reside, work and play in, my friend Amie and I came up with the idea for a site where women could tell their
- nursing
- bottle-feeding
- lactation
- lack of lactation
- la leche league
- back to work
- SNS
- breast pump
- formula brand choosing
Telling stories connects us. It reminds us that we are all human. In this case, after my daughter was born, I felt a real void where the stories that were similar to mine might reside. Hopefully this blog will fill that void.
Who: Whether you bottle-fed, nursed or a bit of both we want to hear from you. Mothers, fathers, partners, grandmas and grandpas -- please tell us how the choices made surrounding the feeding of a newborn/newly adopted etc. child affected you and your family. We want all kinds of stories to inspire, comfort, support and most of all make us think. Make us feel connected. Help us remember that we are all made of the same stories.
Feel free to begin posting stories in the comments. They will be moved to the official site when it is up. Feel free to email me mybreastfeedingstory (at) gmail (dot) com pictures, stories or other feedback.
Welcome!
