After yesterday’s lament about the pressure I put on myself to do something “big and important” for World Breastfeeding Awareness Week, I thought I would give you a run down on what I will be doing.
Tomorrow you can expect my regular Monday Musing. Tuesday I am going to give you a glimpse into the changes and expansion I’m planning for Breastfeeding Moms Unite! Wednesady I will take part in the Breastfeeding Carnival (although I completely forgot about it this month so there is a chance that my post might not be linked to the rest of them). Thursday I will post about my experiences with fundraising for La Leche League and Friday I will do my regular Foodie Friday post.
So in a way I do have a plan for this year’s World Breastfeeding Awareness Week, and I am actively doing something outside my blog (fundraising) in my local community to help raise awareness for the need for breastfeeding support and education. It’s not what I thought or originally planned to do (the nurse-out), but it’s something and I am proud to be a part of the active group of breastfeeding mothers I know, both inside the blogosphere and outside in the real world.

I personally believe you have done a lot for breastfeeding awareness already. I’m glad I ran across this blog. I believe that I found you through twitter when I made an uneducated comment on breastfeeding after 1 year. My views on breastfeeding after 1 year where not very positive, but I have now come to understand this is not only great for the health of baby but the mother and child get a chance to bond even more. You have also posted great advice that I was wanting to know before my little one gets here. I believe you have made me more secure in my upcoming adventures. I love reading your posts and hope you continue. Evening though you didn’t get to have the nurse-out I wanted to let you know you have opened my eyes to breastfeeding long after 1 year and how to stand up for my rights to breastfeed. I believe with your help and support of others I will succeed with breastfeeding and if I ever need help I feel I can always come to you. Thank you so very much. Please keep up the great work.
