Being pregnant means I have become aware of all kinds of things I would have never otherwise known. For example, August 1st - 7th is National Breastfeeding Week. Started by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA); "a global network of individuals and organizations concerned with the protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding worldwide."
Another thing I've learned from being pregnant is that each mother and mother-to-be should be entitled to make her own decisions. Whether she decides to breastfeed or not, organizations like this encourage the promotion of choices when it comes to parenting.
In the spirit of this week, here is a free pattern for how to sew your own nursing cover, from Bliss Tree.
That is a great idea for breast feeding mommies. I don't know much about any of this, but if breast feeding is packed with great nutrients, helps the mom lose weight, AND it's FREE then I'm all for it :)
