world breastfeeding week 8/1 :: 120 countries worldwide: mod*tot + i proudly breastfed as a team in the 2003 defense of the u.s.a's guinness world record for "simultaneous breastfeeding in a single site" in berkeley, california (australia had the record before the u.s.a.)
"in may 2006, the philippines, broke the Guinness World Record on Simultaneous Breastfeeding in a Single Site when they gathered 3,541 mothers with the City of Manila. This year, they created the First Guinness World Record on Simultaneous Breastfeeding in Multiple Sites when they gathered more than 20,000 mothers in more than 400 sites. The organizing group, Children for Breastfeeding, in partnership with WABA, is planning for the first ever attempt to foster cooperation among nations to establish another Guinness World Record in celebration of World Breastfeeding Week. The idea is simple: Join as a pair of breastfeeding mother + child or organize breastfeeding mothers + children in as many sites as possible in your own country + be a part of the network around the world! If you are interested to join in making history with this WBW project, please register at breastfeedingworld.net "

Breastfeeding is so important! I didn't understand how important, until I had my children. This is really good for raising awareness

Yay for breastfeeding! My sister-in-law told me she thought it was "gross" that I breastfed. My mother-in-law told me that she had not breastfed any of her children and she did not understand why I would possibly want to breastfeed. But I prevailed!

breastfeeding is difficult, especially when people who "don't understand breastfeeding" try to get you to stop.
it wasn't "popular" in the 50's + 60's + 70's + 80's + 90's. the marketing people are targeting women to sell cigarettes + formula + things, plus the government wants women in the workforce, especially after world war 2

yay for samantha, maryam + pappi!
i agree, breastfeeding is so worth it, but not popularly embraced as it should be.

the more support + visibility the better. it's so important for the emotional bonding of mother + child too.
