Our bodies are just incredible.

WOW!!!! If you needed further evidence that our bodies are amazing and accommodate our children, check out this fan share on La Leche League of South Bend:

"Thought I would share this awesome pic- a friend in a pregnancy group posted it. Her toddler only nurses on the right side, and when he went to bed without nursing she pumped to relieve engorgement and went ahead and pumped both sides. Colostrum for the new baby on the left and milk for the toddler on the right! So amazing!"

Great list!

Dr Michel Odent wants men out of delivery rooms, pregnant women off drugs no one fully understands and for doctors to stop scaring expecting women the world over. He's now written a book hoping to change global birthing practices. Beverley Turner meets him.

“How far dilated are you?” When you get past 36 weeks of pregnancy, this is most likely a question you’ll hear again and again — from several people. And more than likely, you’ll wait in anxious anticipation after a routine pelvic exam to hear the report, and quite possibly feel crestfallen when you...

This is one of the main reasons I invented the Lactation Lanyards with the "tiny tummies teaching tool." I was recently at a first latch visit where the baby was in the isolate with one of these formula bottles. When I showed the new mom the bead on my lanyard and told her it represented the infant's stomach capacity, she was both relived and empowered. A picture is worth 1000 words, and this picture said "you can do it...you have enough milk... stop worrying". I have 40 in stock until my new shipment comes in you can order at www.birthingandbreastfeeding.com. (Click the "store" option)

"There are risks to not giving your baby breastmilk that all families deserve to know. It doesn't mean that formula is bad but it is a lesser quality product than breastmilk. (Note: lesser quality product does not mean lesser quality parents.) Whether you have to supplement or use formula entirely, being informed about the risks associated with not giving your baby breastmilk is a part of being fully informed. This isn't to bash formula or those that use it by choice or otherwise, just like we all need to be aware of the risks we face in all of our activities, so families need to have this information. The reality is there are risks to not breastfeeding and it is important information."

Health outcomes in developed countries differ substantially for mothers and infants who formula feed compared with those who breastfeed. For infants, not being breastfed is associated with an increased incidence of infectious morbidity, as well as elevated risks of childhood obesity, type 1 and type...

"The Native Americans say the laboring woman goes out to the stars to bring back the soul of the baby." Women experiencing a natural birth, surrounded by support and loved ones, often go into "labor-land". I love this idea :)
