      I am so glad to find a network of women that UNDERSTAND! Thank you! -Bonnie

“The work you do is hugely important. . . What if  . . . we had we had a smart policymaker willing to think hard about work and family issues, across the board, with breastfeeding as just one part of a larger and spirited national conversation?  Here’s what we need: we need Michelle Obama.”  -Jill Lepore, Pulitzer Prize Finalist and Professor, Harvard University, in response to a question about her article in The New Yorker. 

“Thank you for the info on this website… it is my new helpful link for friends who are new moms or expecting moms. I had a painful, difficult experience breastfeeding and in the midst of it would rather desperately trawl the internet looking for support ~ I wish this site had existed then! Truly, reading the section on Booby Traps was helpful even now as I reflect on the experience.”  —Susan, comment from Phdinparenting.com post on BfB Ad Campaign

“Wishing you every success with your website. I love the tone. I think it will really speak to today’s mothers.” -Kristen Panzer, IBCLC, Millerton, NY

“What a great mission! I think changing the public perception of breastfeeding is exactly what is needed - there are so many resources out there but really, culturally it is the public perception which holds so many people back.” -Emma

“Thanks for all that you do for women around the world, the message is sublime.” -Jacqui

“Your words of encouragement and your foundation are what us new moms need to keep us going and doing our best to provide the best nutrition and health for our babies!  Keep up the great work and best of luck on your campaign!” — Grace Shea, Alexandria, VA

 

If only, if only I had these resources at the time that I gave birth to my daughter.  My hopes and attempt to breastfeed were disasterous. I got everything from, “you’re too old at 43″ to “your breasts must have scar tissue” to absolutely NO support when it came to all the pain and the pumping. I got a lot of supposed professionals telling me that “…it’s really OK to formula feed your child, she’ll be just fine.” Molly and I lived through it, but it was not OK at all. Reading about your work and learning more about resources out there is very inspiring.-MariSusan L., New Jersey
