I'd like to introduce our readers to Neve Spicer, writer and founder of We The Parents. She is sharing some very important information about breastfeeding disparity. I thought it especially important to share this information during Black Breastfeeding Week, in the hopes that a change-maker sees today's post and can help take action on the steps that Neve outlined inTHISpost. You can scroll to the end of today's post to see those steps, although I encourage you to click on the link and read the whole article. |

PART 1: My
Breastfeeding Journey: The Greatest Gift of My Birth Experience
 I’ve been breastfeeding my daughter,
Scarlett, for a little over a year now, and it continues to be a very important
part of our lives. I know many women in the United States choose to discontinue
breastfeeding at a year, or sooner, for a variety of reasons. I have no
judgment towards them. I can say I know that I won’t be one of them. I’m not
sure how long we will continue to nurse, but I don’t see us stopping any time
soon. |

 Today's #MondayMantra is a fun affirmation that there is something quite wonderful and unique about making milk for your Sweet Pea.
If you have chosen to breastfeed and you are making milk...own it!! You are a true Wonder Woman. |

 Amy & Ollie 2016
I never thought I'd be breastfeeding my toddler. I certainly
never thought I would be doing so while pregnant! Here I am, 30 weeks pregnant,
writing this while my toddler who just nursed down for a nap, is sleeping.
When Ollie was a baby he nursed on demand; now he nurses before nap time, if
we're together, and at bedtime, if mommy is home. Ollie's first Birthday came
and went, and we were still nursing. When I got pregnant, Ollie was about
18-months, we contemplated weaning. |

Thank you to Jenny Silverstone, fromMama Loves Best, for writing our guest post in support of breastfeeding, one of our favorite topics here at SPB.
Feeding our Babies Home-Grown Goodness
Motherhood isn’t always easy. You often have to make choices that aren’t always simple or popular. You sometimes have to dig deep to get the information you need to make the crucial decisions that will affect your baby for the rest of his or her life.
Every choice you make for your baby counts, whether it’s the birthing method, the products you use, or the food choices you make for your child. |

Puma and I got to see the Amorini Silver Nipple Soothers™
vendor table when we visited a Club MomMe event in California last year. At the time, we didn’t get to connect with
the rep since the table was unattended the couple of times we stopped by. We get this, though!! I have been a solo rep
at events before and I know how hard it is to be at your booth 100% of the
time. Imagine my delight when we got to meet the founder of
Amorini at our localArizona La Leche League conference |
