World Breastfeeding Week 2012

Today starts World Breastfeeding Week 2012- the 20th annual celebration of breastfeeding!

This is a terrific time for anyone to learn more about breastfeeding and supporting mothers who choose to breastfeed. There are numerous obstacles in the way of a woman choosing to breastfeed- from body image to family pressure to not knowing how to handle issues that might develop and, especially, not knowing the accurate information and resources that are available. Even if breastfeeding isn't for you or your family, it still helps to support mothers who choose to breastfeed!

Here is the official website for World Breastfeeding Week 2012.

Here is a long list of resources on breastfeeding provided by Mothering.com.
