Have Milk, Will Travel
Mamas are awfully hard on themselves, especially when it comes to nursing. In my opinion, any effort you put towards breastfeeding (even if nursing doesn't ultimately work out for you) is terrific. So go ahead and celebrate the number of days, months, or years that you have committed to breastfeeding.
While World Breastfeeding Week celebrations are ongoing through May – September, this week (August 1 – 7) celebrates the signing of the Innocenti Declaration on the Protection, Promotion and Support of Breastfeeding. This year marks the 25th anniversary of an international public health recommendation to provide mothers with facts about feeding their babies, free of aggressive infant formula marketing campaigns (e.g., hospital formula freebies).
