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.

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!
