Tell us what you thought of this piece. What have you done to advocate for yourself as a mom?
Breastfeeding Chicago’s article for the Chicago Trib has also appeared today (Feb 9) in the Willimantic Chronicle (Connecticut). Your points about shaming mothers, and giving them accurate info on breastfeeding, are very welcome and relevant here. Congratulations to Katrina Pavlik and all of your organization!
Helen Armstrong, ex LLL Leader, IBCLC, and former consultant to UNICEF on global breastfeeding programs. Now I am retired, but still can celebrate the way our work is carried forward!
That is so great! Thanks for letting us know, Helen! And thank you for all your years of helping moms to breastfeed!
I see that I left out a not: “Your points about not shaming…” Please add that word!
