I just found a gift in my inbox. It came from a fellow La Leche League Leader, and I have no idea how she happened upon it. It is a video, and it will surely please many, many people. Whether you are a long-time supporter of breastfeeding, or a pregnant mom who is mulling over the “breastfeeding or formula” question, or a mom of grown children who were formula-fed but now know that breastfeeding is the way to go, or a woman who loves visual art with women and children as subjects, or a mom who nursed her children because “breast is best” but recognize that formula does have a very small and very important place in raising children, you will love this video.
What this amazing work does is simple but wonderful: it demonstrates the absolute normality of breastfeeding. It’s not about “breast is best”. It’s not a video with a “Nursing Nazi” feel. It is simply a list of 101 important things you should know about breastfeeding set to a background of elegant artwork about nursing babies. It’s like nursing a baby in that this video and nursing are simple but wonderful things. And it is beautiful, just as a mom and baby nursing are beautiful. For some reason YouTube will not let me put the video here. So, since it’s late, and I really want ya’ll to be able to see this now, I’m going to punt- Enjoy the video!
Very pretty!
That was great! Thanks!
