Nanny to Mommy

 When I was I tried everything to boost my milk supply for my babies. And I really wish there was a product like Lactation Cookie Express on the market that I could easily buy instead of worrying about the exact ingredients to make the perfect batch of breastfeeding or lactation cookies. With all the babies being born recently, I thought it would be fun to share this fun giveaway for a bundle of 3 lactation cookie mixes from Lactation Cookie Express. 

Since it's World Breastfeeding Week. The Big Latch-On is tomorrow! Who's all attending? I'm sure you can find one in your are. Here is the details for my local one:

"Please join us as we celebrate World Breastfeeding Week and participate in the Big Latch On event to promote breastfeeding awareness.

Please come if you are available!

In Forest Park, GA, they passed a public indecency ordinance to prevent public nudity. In this a women is not allowed to breastfeed a child over two years of age in public.

First of all, this is completely ridiculous. Breastfeeding is a natural thing that can NOT be taken away by a law. No other mammals feed their babies another animals milk. Second of all, extended breastfeeders (as they are called) usually do not breastfeed in public. They only do in the morning or at night. And how are they going to monitor this law? Is a police officer going to go up to a women and say, "Um ma'am can I see that child's birth certificate?"

I personally will MOST likely not breastfeed past two at the most. But the government can NOT tell me whether I can or not. Boobs are meant to be bottles for babies. They were made to make milk. All mammals do it. I know I say that all the time. But it is normal to breastfeed. There is nothing wrong with it and should not be shameful!

These cookies are so YUMMY! I got them from Dr.Momma.org - Peaceful Parenting.
