Facebook has done it again!

Yet again Facebook has taken our publishing rights away!

The original "If breastfeeding offends you, put a blanket over YOUR head!" group had over 300,000 members. Facebook removed our publishing rights for no apparent reason and I began a new group by the same name. That new group reached only 30,000 fans. Yet again I have logged into Facebook to discover that my publishing rights were removed. At this point, I don't feel it is worth the effort to start *another* group. Please feel free to stick around on this blog as a source for information and hopefully some giveaways in the future. And thank you to everyone who supported the Facebook group!

Win a FREE amber teething necklace from Inspired by Finn!

This giveaway is open to the USA and Canada only.

The winner will have their choice of any baltic amber product that is 16 inches or less (that would include youth necklaces and adult bracelets and anklets, but does NOT include adult necklaces). It MUST be an item that is currently in stock.

If you are not familiar with Baltic amber teething necklaces, they are a nursing mother's best friend when their baby is teething. On contact, Baltic amber is an all natural pain reliever and anti-inflammatory, and when a little one doesn't have teething discomfort, nursing Mom's rarely get bit!

To get more scientific, baltic amber contains succinic acid (that's the natural pain reliever and anti-inflammatory). When worn on bare skin, your body heat releases small amounts of it which are absorbed into the body. I personally use one on my son and it works wonders! So does one of our moderators. Baltic amber is great for adults with chronic pain due to arthritis, fibromyalgia, lupus, MS, etc. So even if your baby isn't teething anymore, maybe Grandma or Grandpa would like an amber bracelet.

You can view Inspired by Finn's website here.

World War II is Responsible for the Decline of Breastfeeding in the U.S.

Infant formula was invented by Henri Nestle in 1860, but it didn’t actually become popular until the 1940s. The main cause for this sudden increase in popularity was World War II. Before the war the vast majority of women were homemakers who stayed home with their children and left the jobs to the men. As the war continued, women were called to the workforce to support their country by doing the jobs that men who went overseas to fight had left behind. In fact, the number of women in the labor force increased 210% from 1940 to 1985. It was this sudden desire and ability for women to leave the housewife life behind that formula companies saw and capitalized on by starting huge advertisement and free sample campaigns to normalize bottle feeding and, of course, get rich in the process.

Kathryn Davis, age 60, is the daughter of a decorated WWII veteran. A self-proclaimed history buff, Kathryn has spent her entire life studying WWII and its effects on the population of the United States.

"I think World War II was the biggest influence on the decline of breastfeeding. It was the first time in U.S. history that women could really enter the workforce. They needed them to build the planes, bombs, tanks, and munitions but if they were breastfeeding babies they couldn't do that on the scale needed. Formula and bottles became quite popular at that time because they needed to be able to leave their babies behind to help the war efforts. The baby boomer generation is really the first generation to have been bottle fed on the large scale. The attitude was that the more intelligent, educated, and sophisticated people bottlefed. If you saw someone breastfeeding you automatically assumed that they were an ignorant country bumpkin. It wasn't that breastfeeding was uncommon, it’s just that the bottle was more common. When my sister had her kids in the 60s they were automatically bottlefed and she was even given a shot to dry up her milk. By the time the 80s came around and I was having my children people were beginning to become more educated about breastfeeding. My doctor didn't influence me either way but basically told me that breastfeeding for the first month was good enough. Of course, I was given tons of formula samples and free bottles at every doctor visit."

Improved communications, especially printing, enabled intensive commercial promotion of artificial milks. Financial support of hospitals and physicians by manufacturers also hastened the decline in breastfeeding. Milk manufacturers also began campaigns in other countries to bring our “better” and “safer” method of feeding babies.

Once women were proving themselves in the workplace as equals to men feminism was born. Especially in the 1960s feminists encouraged women get away from their babies and start living their lives. It’s ironic that feminism, the concept of women supporting each other, actually created a situation where women who chose to stay with their babies and feed them naturally were looked down upon and even shamed for being anti-progressive to women’s rights. As a consequence, we ended up with a widespread loss of understanding of its importance and a declining ability of health professionals to support it. It was the perfect opportunity for formula companies to aggressively advertise and slip money into the pockets of doctors.

By the late-1930’s, the use of commercially manufactured breast milk substitutes became very common, especially in developed countries. Because they were unaware of how grossly inferior these artificial substitutes were, physicians advocated for bottle feeding over breastfeeding for many mothers. The effects of the promotion of bottle feeding and breast milk substitutes became evident during the post-World War II baby boom (1946-1956), when breastfeeding rates at hospital discharge dropped to 25%.

After that time there was a rebirth of breastfeeding, which many believe was due to the efforts of a small, but vocal group of women at that time considered fanatics, La Leche League International. Slowly but surely the news spread that breast was best and many others joined the crusade to get breastfeeding normalized. By 1982 approximately 62% were breastfeeding in the hospital and 27% at six months. Currently in-hospital breastfeeding rates are around 70%.

Ultimately, both good and bad consequences came from women being called to the labor force. These days women can get a job doing almost anything that a man can, and no one can deny that the feminist movement led to women achieving greater rights and being treated like equals. It is simply unfortunate and sad that in order for that to happen, many babies had to be left behind with an artificial breast propped in their mouths. This history of breastfeeding and infant formula also raises a red flag about the intentions of formula companies and shows that they have historically put their wallets before their concern for infant health. Formula is a blessing for babies who are unable to receive breast milk, but the companies that manufacture it have proven time and time again that they are not to be trusted.

Congratulations! I will be e-mailing you shortly to get your addresses. If you don't see my e-mail be sure to check your spam filter.

As I am sure you all know by now, our publishing rights were taken away on our old facebook page. I've filed an appeal but facebook has a history of unfairly disabling pages so I doubt it will help. We've started a new page by the same name here. While the old page had over 250,000 members, the new one has just barely 7,000. This is a bit of a problem for everyone because before our original page was disabled we lots of companies that wanted to giveaway freebies on our page, knowing that they would get plenty of publicity in return.

Now that our audience has shrunk considerably I am wary to post those pending giveaways knowing that the companies that generously offered to donate those items are unlikely to see a rise in sales because of it. Therefore, I am asking you if you like these freebies and want to continue to have them please invite your friends to join or facebook page.

We also had a project in the works to get thousands of 8x8 high quality cards printed with the breastfeeding logo and mail them out worldwide to be placed in the windows of stores and businesses that respect a woman's right to nurse anytime, anywhere. But again, now that we have lost track of so many members it is probably going to be impossible to raise the money required to do this. The more our page spreads around the more good we can do, thanks to everyone for your support.

The Image of Breastfeeding

As promised, a collection of photos we were emailed in. Thank you ladies.

Facebook took away our publishing rights!

Facebook has taken away our ability to post on our facebook group!

We did NOT let facebook stop us when they removed our breastfeeding photos. We did NOT let them stop us when trolls spammed our page with hateful messages and pornography. And we will NOT let them stop us this time either!

Part 2 of Sweet, Funny, and Cute: Babies nursing babies!

If you have ever nursed a baby into toddlerhood, or have nursed a younger child around their older siblings then odds are your child has imitated you breastfeeding. Maybe they even tried to use your breast pump! There's nothing cuter than a sweet, innocent little girl or boy pretending to feed babies the way nature intended! Enjoy these fan photos and if you would like your own included please e-mail it to: bfingpics@gmail.com


Logan about 20 months old pretending to breastfeed a doll, his little brother. Connor was a couple of months old.


Addison LOVED bf'ing her babies! Didn't take her long to catch on!

My son was tongue-tied and couldn't nurse well for the first few months, until he had his frenulum clipped several times, so I was pumping 8 times a day and feeding him almost exclusively from a bottle. Here is his big sister Eliana (2 years old)pumping milk for "her baby."

In this photo Bailee (my friends daughter) and my almost 4 yr old Shaylen are "pumping" during their pretend play being mommies. At the time I was still nursing my 14 month old and pumping a lot as I was finishing my teaching degree.

This is my youngest son, Tom. He was breastfed until 3 years and 7 months, and as you can see, loves to extend the same bounty to his doll!(His older sister was found at the age of 2, trying to express breast milk from herself to fill the little bottle that came with a doll she was given!)


I just wanted to share this photo of my daughter Seren who was 3 at the time, breastfeeding her baby.

My son (11m) crawling over the table, my daughter (4) nursing her dolly, and their favourite play mate(2).

This is my son Jacob (age 4) nursing a doll

My daughter, Freya aged 4, breastfeeding her twins just like Mummy

Attached is a picture of my 22mnth old daughter Breanna. She has become fascinated with breastfeeding since the birth of her brother (6mnths) and attempts to feed all her dolls and teddies- she has also tried it on her bewildered baby brother!

Wanted to have this added to the blog. It is a picture of my two year-old feeding her younger brother “just like mommy” as her brother struggles to get out of her grasp. She tries so hard to be like mommy.

This is my son, Bennie, breastfeeding his Elmo doll at 22.5 months old. His brother, Alexander, was born when he was 19 months old. After watching me feed Alexander for a few months, each time he would see me going for the boppy, he would insist that it was time to "feed Elmo" and try to wrestle the pillow away from me. Incidentally, because of complications, I only feed Alexander on one side, and Bennie got it right!
