I’m going to local events, but I can’t participate fully! Give me 6 months and I’ll have a new little nurser. My “big boy” weaned himself at about 2.5… so I’ll join in on the celebration fully next year! So glad to see and hear about World Breastfeeding Week in so many places
Okay… bear in mind this came to me by way of an evenflo newsletter that was passed on to me, but it’s still a good cause and a great idea (evenflo now owns Ameda)… I don’t agree with everything to do with evenflo… but hey, again, it’s a great cause.

I didn’t even realize it was World Breastfeeding Week. There’s an annual nurse-in at a local coffee shop, but logistics have never let me go, and this may be my last year as a nursing mom. But I seem to have unconsciously held my own nurse-in. In the middle of our town there is a plaza, and in the middle of the plaza is a concrete platform, and in the middle of that platform, with my older two drawing chalk pictures around me and people scattered all around the plaza on benches, I matter-of-factly nursed my big baby, talking to him, commenting on what he was doing (lots of sip-and-sitting because he was Outdoors This Is Exciting Mommy Lookit That Over There!!!), and in general not trying to pretend that I wasn’t producing milk from my body.

I love how you’ve drawn his face where he says “Hi.” I’ve had that moment myself more times than I can count. Sweetness.
Yes he’s SOOO cute! MY lil one has been HI-ing me for about a month now. So fun when she does it when I’m really stressing out, lol! (refocus mommy)
Me too
I love it when my son says, “Thank you, Mommy!” It’s right from his heart
sniff sniff. I can’t do that anymore!
Count us in!
I’m handing out gifts to our breastfeeding moms at WIC.

Super cute! I love your depictions of you breastfeeding.
Me too.
Fantastic!
