Welcome to Mama Knows Breast

September 10, 2006

Welcome to Mama Knows Breast-- a blog for all things breastfeeding. Whether you breastfeed for one day, one week or one year, you'll find something fun here. The site will have breastfeeding news, tips, products, anecdotes and advice from other moms. Plus, I'll throw in stories of my own adventures as a new mom.

I'll tell you about the time I put my already-chewed bubble gum in my pants pocket while breastfeeding. I'll describe my technique for breastfeeding one baby while chasing a toddler around the playground. And I'll compile a list of the best public breastfeeding places. Top of my list-- the pedicure chair in a beauty salon. Along the way I'll also shamelessly promote my book, "Mama Knows Breast: A Beginner's Guide to Breastfeeding," which will be published by Quirk Books in the fall of 2007.

In the meantime, this blog is my baby. Well, not my real baby...I've got two of those. One is two years old and the other is five months. You'll meet them here under the affectionate nicknames, the "Bortskerini" and "The Titty Bear." You'll also meet my husband, a/k/a "Dada."

So look for weekly updates and tell your friends about this site. And if you're like me, new to this whole blog thing, here are a couple of tips. You can leave a Comment on a post by clicking on "Comments" at the bottom of the entry. You can also sign up to get an alert when I've written a new post by going to "Subscribe" on the tool bar. And if you prefer old fashioned email, send me your own stories about breastfeeding or bottlefeeding at mamaknowsbreast@yahoo.com.
