Home for the Holidays: a Carnival of Breastfeeding

by Angela White, J.D., breastfeeding counselor on November 14th, 2006

Welcome to the first Carnival of Breastfeeding, a monthly feature of contributions from several breastfeeding bloggers. Today we have five posts based on the theme “Home for the Holidays.”

I offer Ten Tips for Breast Health to help prevent breast infections. Cold and flu season, holiday travel and the excitement of the festivities can make breastfeeding mothers particularly vulnerable to plugged ducts and mastitis this time of year. Find out how to have a happy and healthy holiday season!

Jen at The Lactivist gives important information on Breastfeeding and Holiday Travel including the status of various state laws regarding breastfeeding in public.

Tanya from the Motherwear Breastfeeding Blog talks about the challenges of dealing with unsupportive family members in her post It All Starts Somewhere.

Sinead from Breastfeeding Mums discusses How to Cope with the Extra Stress Placed on Families during the Holidays.

Finally, Andi shares a bit of original holiday humor with her breastfeeding poem ‘Twas the Breastfeeder’s Nighttime.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this selection of posts and you’ll join us again next month for the second Carnival of Breastfeeding!
