Your Breastfeeding Experiences
Welcome to Breastfeeding Experiences!
As the title suggests, this website is here to collect YOUR experiences. If you're anything like me, since the moment you conceived (and probably before!) you've been thinking about everything that's best for you and your baby. We all know that means breastfeeding, though we also know that it isn't necessarily an easy choice.
My aim for this site is to provide breastfeeding mums with a place to share their stories, knowledge and experience with each other. It doesn't matter if you tried and failed at breastfeeding, or if you're still going at the age of five. If you have a story you'd like to share, then I'd love to put it up on the site.
So how do you submit your stories? It couldn't be easier. Just look to the menu on the right and select the category you think your story best fits. Clicking on the link will take you to the relevant page, where you will find a link to an easy-to-use form, as well as a list of other people's stories in that category. You can leave your name, an alias, or be totally anonymous, it really doesn't matter. And if you can't find a category that fits what you want to say, use this form to suggest a new one!
While you're here, why not take some time to read through some of the other mums' experiences? I'm sure there's plenty here that will make you smile, make you wistful, give you some useful advice and even recommend you a good book. I hope you find this site a useful resource as you take the rollercoaster ride that is breastfeeding.

No idea what's happening with those SPAM filters...) At any rate, after my last week's post on tooth decay and breastfeeding, I "met" James Akre. He is the author of the book, "The Problem With Breastfeeding: A Personal Reflection...

50 Fabulous Breastfeeding Foods
In my prenatal breastfeeding classes, my private practice, and my support group, moms always ask what they should be eating. My stock answer is "anything and everything!" I was recently alerted to this great article on the "50 Fabulous Superfoods for Pregnancy and Postpartum" and thought I'd share it with you. A lot of these foods are staples in most of our diets, but you may be pleasantly surprised to see some of the more "offbeat" ones. Enjoy! (And now have a great dinner!)

Tooth Decay and Breastfeeding: Can We Please Clear Up Some Things?
I was just alerted to a story on CNN reporting a new study in which doctors, having conversations with parents at the baby's 9 month visit, will help with weaning from the bottle. Okay, fine, I appreciate that. But something else made me stop in my tracks...
