Walmart refuses to print breastfeeding photos and it’s becoming a disturbing trend
Whitney Walters wanted to put together a scrapbook of her 6-year-old daughter. She sent her pictures off to Walmart, but when she arrived to pick them up they told her multiple photos of hers were indecent and would not be printed. The indecent act? Breastfeeding her daughter. Aside from that vague comment they would not explain, specifically, why they could not print them. Public Relations for Walmart has not issued a statement.

Popular Website ‘Bro Bible’ Shames Young Woman for Nursing Her Baby
This website should rename itself from Bro Bible to “Sexist Pricks who Need a Hard Kick in the Balls Forum”.
To stalk and shame a young mother for doing something amazing for her child is beyond despicable. If the author is going to blast Chastity’s face alongside her diatribe then she could at least grow a pair and put her own images up so we all know who to never “swipe right” on again. Yes, It is a woman who … Keep Reading!!!

Bottles, Breasts and Babies – Feeding Siblings Differently
The Formula Fed Baby
When I was pregnant with my first breastfeeding was a given to me. It just seemed like the normal thing to do and I never considered anything else. I was under the impression that it’s simple – latch baby – end of story. I set up no support system, I didn’t do any research.
At the hospital I was made to feel like I couldn’t do it until the nurse was there to “help” latch baby, … Keep Reading!!!
Child-led Weaning: Brooke
Brooke Bates
My almost 4 yr old daughter still nurses for a few minutes before her nap and bedtime. Occasionally she wants to nurse when she wakes up also. We don’t nurse in public anymore now that she’s older but I do share that information with other moms of toddlers when the subject comes up in conversation. Moms need to know that it is healthy and within the range of normal.
Did you practice child led weaning with your child? … Keep Reading!!!
Spray Tans and Breastfeeding Don’t Mix
Gemma Colley learned the hard way that spray tans and breastfeeding don’t mix. She had a wedding to attend and decided to get a little spray on glow to feel her best.
I am not a bad mum who would ever intend on harming a child. Just a very forgetful one that happens to be going to a wedding at the weekend and doesn’t want to look like Casper the friendly ghost in a bright yellow dress.
After her tanning … Keep Reading!!!

A Natural Age of Weaning
My research has looked at the various “life-history” variables (such as length of gestation, birth weight, growth rate, age at sexual maturity, age at eruption of teeth, life span, etc.) in non-human primates and then looked at how these variables correlate with age at weaning in these animals. These are our closest relatives in the animal kingdom, especially gorillas and chimpanzees, who … Keep Reading!!!
