It is a myth that if a child can ask to nurse, he is too old for breastfeeding. Even the tiniest newborn asks to nurse by crying. Besides, is a child too old for a bottle of formula once he can ask for that? Does a child who can ask to nurse at nine months […]
Something makes me think you all are keeping hidden journals you don’t want the rest of the world to discover. Of those of you brave enough to answer the question, “Do you keep a journal or personal weblog (blog)?” the breakdown was as follows:

Some women carry with them a copy of their state’s law that protects breastfeeding in public.

This question came up recently when one of my friends had an emergency appendectomy. Personally I have used this question as a way to weed out (bad) doctors — unless they give me the correct answer or say “I don’t know, but I’ll find out for you,” they’re history.

In anticipation of this crazy week, I have lined up some fantastic guest bloggers. […]

Wall Street Journal columnist Sue Shellenbarger recently tackled the question of whether there have been any changes in employer support for breastfeeding mothers. Shellenbarger wrote:
Employer support has risen; about 26% of employers offer such programs as a space to pump or access to a lactation coach, up from 19% in 2005, says a 2007 survey […]
The other day Katie Allison Granju (author of Attachment Parenting: Instinctive Care for Your Baby and Young Child) was lamenting how difficult it is to be a breastfeeding and working mother.
