World Breastfeeding Week

August 02, 2008

There's a lot going on this week, and month, in the world of breastfeeding. World Breastfeeding Week is an annual, international event organized by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action. Events are organized locally, so to see what's happening near you, click on this website for World Breastfeeding Week. For another list, check out this link from La Leche League. From this link, you'll find events all month, and even into September. Seems to be more accurate to call this Breastfeeding Awareness Month!

Now for some news...
Here's a link to a news story from New York City about some moms who rode the subway with their breastfeeding babies.

And from Massachusetts, here's the latest on the new Mothers' Milk Bank of New England.

Mothers' Milk Bank Wins Business Contest

February 13, 2008

You voted, and they won! Yes, that's right. The Mothers' Milk Bank of New England won $10,000 in an on-line business idea contest at IdeaBlob. I wrote about this contest here before. The money will now go to help this new milk bank open soon.

Head over to the Motherwear Breastfeeding Blog to congratulate Tanya, one of the folks behind the contest entry.
