Moms Who Blog About Breastfeeding

July 18, 2008

Congratulations to Angela at Breastfeeding123, who just gave birth yesterday. Check her site often... I'm sure she'll have some interesting posts about her experiences with her baby.

And while you're at it...take a look at RookieMoms blog, where Whitney is writing about pumping all weekend while she's away at Blogher, the premier blogging conference for women.

Are there other moms out there blogging about breastfeeding that I don't know about? If so, tell me.

A Breastfeeding Blogging Bonanza

December 06, 2007

Moms love to tell their stories about childbirth. There's the "I pushed for 14 hours" story. The "you would not believe what happened to me..." story. The "I went all natural" or the "I begged for drugs" stories. And even the "I thought I was going to strangle (insert name)" story.

Now, it seems the story to tell is the breastfeeding tale. That's what happened today on the new collective blog, New York City Moms. The NY Moms blog is part of a larger blogging network that has sites focused on Silicon Valley, Chicago and Washington, DC. And today, in each region, the focus was on breastfeeding...the ups and downs of boobs, bottles and babes.

I'm new to blogging for NY Moms, and I was thrilled that they asked me to write the introductory post to today's entries. Click here for a full list of all of the entries from the day. The site administrators got so many requests from bloggers and readers to include their stories, that they ended up opening an entry where anyone can contribute. Click here if you have a tale to tell.

Blogger's Choice Awards-- Time To Vote

April 21, 2007

And another fun one... I've been nominated for the Blogger's Choice Awards. (The Booby Brigade and I all nominated each other).

The Blogger's Choice Awards recognize blogs that are having an impact on the blogosphere. Basically, it's a lot of self-referential nonsense. But amusing nonetheless. Can't you just picture the award ceremony? How about a "red carpet?" "Hi Joan. Yes, I'm wearing vintage Puma sweatpants and a 2006 Gap t-shirt with a stain from breakfast. My one year old did my hair-- apple sauce for gel. It works wonders."

Anyway, click on these links to vote. I'm in 3 categories and you can vote three times: Best Health Blog, Best Parenting Blog and Hottest Mommy Blogger.

And while you're on the site, surf around. You'll find some really cool blogs you've never seen before.

Bravo Angela. What an invaluable resource you've created!

A New Breastfeeding Blog-- The Black Breastfeeding Blog

February 19, 2007

Random internet ramblings recently lead me to a new breastfeeding blog-- The Black Breastfeeding Blog. It's run by Jennifer James, the founder of Mommy Too! Magazine, an online magazine for mothers of color. James also has a six-blog network for black moms and parents that focuses on breastfeeding, parenting, babies and toddlers, pregnancy, big issues and shopping.

The breastfeeding blog has great photos and fantastic design. And of course, great information. It's fun to add another breastfeeding mama to our blog roll. (Tanya at Motherwear found this site, too!) So hey Jennifer, want to contribute to our breastfeeding carnival?
