World Breastfeeding Week

In honor of World Breastfeeding Week, which runs from August 1 - 7, I wanted to share an article with everyone about the benefits of breastfeeding (as if we didn't already know!): Breast Milk Sugars Give Infants a Protective Coat.


My first breastfeeding picture and without a cover (I was wearing a bathing suit that covered me up which is why I was so comfortable). Happy breastfeeding!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Jack is getting ready to take his first trip to the aquarium today!

I love pictures like this - I frequently look down at Ava while she's nursing and think that there really is little as beautiful as a nursing infant...they're just so primal and lovely.

Happy World Breastfeeding Week!

Hooray for breastfeeding & nursing in public!!I breastfed without a cover all over while on vacation - even on rides at Disneyland. (My Jack hates to be covered up - and I can't say I blame him!) I love that you posted this - what a perfect way to celebrate breastfeeding week :)
