Breast feeding support in central Cali!
|
In July of 2007 I gave birth to my beautiful daughter at a birth center in Austin, Texas. Austin's alternative and holistic minded population make it a wonderful place to have a baby. Everywhere you look, there is a mommy with a baby in a wrap or sling, and breast feeding is never even looked at "twice." A month ago, my family and I moved to the west coast, and although I was born and raised out west and am finally "home" again, I have found that the attitude toward nursing in public seems to be MUCH different. I nurse my one year old in public, discreetly and respectfully, but still get looked at as if I am openly committing some kind of taboo crime! I decided I'd like to organize a local breast feeding awareness/support system, and am actively seeking other pro-breast feeders in the central coast area of California to network with and organize public nursing events with. To do that, I'd like to touch base with local midwives, lactation consultants and fellow childbirth educators, as well as MOMS who currently nurse and have nursed in the past. Breast feeding is so important! I can't encourage it enough. I would also like to pursue lactation consultant training, so any help with that would be appreciated, as well.
