WABA World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) 2008
here is a link to the official WABA site!
And this awesome slide show was made by Denise from Sindrome de Estocolmo, there's a picture of Noah & I - How cool?!
Isn't this cool???
If you know me you know I’m a breastfeeding advocate 200% - So I just LOVED this awesome exhibition “Get Britain Breastfeeding” that opens this week!
I need to agree with Denise that this is the coolest one: (definitely going to sidebar! =)) ”Bond with your baby, bond with your man.”

A funny one…
Benji does not like to see my breast – not even for a second! If while feeding, Noah stops to look around and my breast is uncovered Benji used to freak out and try to cover up by bringing my shirt down.
This week Benji looked at me while I was nursing and said:
- Mama, Can you putt away your ‘bottle of milk’ ???
BREAST!!!! BREAST!!!! BREAST!!!
Today at the YMCA - UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
Despite the fact that strange things ALWAYS happen to me – I should expect this one to happen with me!
This morning Tati called asking if we were gonna make to the Y – Benji was having a hard morning so I told her probably not; a few minutes go by and she knocks at our door – Great! We can make it now – I got myself dressed, as well Benjamin and Tati got Noah ready – We made it!
So we are hanging out at the “blocks” room for Benji to play, another friend Marcia came by to talk with us – the baby gets hungry so I gave no thoughts to it, just got him and nursed, right there!
This woman who was there playing with her kid and had a badge from the Y on her shirt came by and did not measure her voice said “You can’t breastfeed in public, we have a nursing room where you can do it, but not here!” in front of several other parents…
No comments: I was *SHOCKED*! I didn’t even know what to say for a minute – I was just so angry! Benji was playing, did not want to stop and put shoes on to go to a nursing room, besides, YMCA it’s a “family oriented” place!
Marcia heard the whole thing and left to go to the bathroom, in the mean time Tati came in and I left Benji with her and I was heading to the main desk when Marcia is coming back with one of the managers; Amy… she came and looked at the employee who HARASSED me, yes - to me it was harassing! She gave me hundreds of apologies, and I went off on the woman at this point, I was just so angry!
Marcia of course kept herself calm, went back into the playroom and very politely told the woman about the “rules” change – after she left the manager called her into this little room where the laundry is, said something to her, I went back into the playroom to finish feeding my son – in front of everyone while Benji was playing!
Later in the morning this girl Sandra stopped by us at the hall to apologize…
Ooops, the boys are screaming but the best part of this story is still to come but I got to go see my kids - I’ll be back here later to finish it…

Bad dream (for the most part of it)
Oh listen to this:
I had a dream last night that the baby was born (poor guy, needs a name – I can tell this will be like Benjamin, we can’t name him until we see his little face) Anyways, he was born, I guess premature and had a lot of extra skin, he was reay wringed & was nursing but it didn’t hurt!
Oh Gezz! Please make my dream come true! (Just the nursing part of it)
Anyways, continuing…
Benjamin came in into my bedroom and would not even look at me – he was MAD – I felt so rejected! – I’m gonna go look some stuff to read and talk to other moms who had babis so close to each other to get some more advices… =(
In the mean time I’ll eat a Klondike Reese’s Cup bar to see it helps me feel better!
