~ The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program encourages breastfeeding through the offer of pumping supplies, support from breastfeeding peer counselors, and incentives to breastfeed (breastfeeding mothers who do not require infant formula are given extra allotments of food). Tanya at the Motherwear Breastfeeding Blog reports that WIC is in danger of having to cut over half a million families due to a potential lack of funding.
~ Author Sean Taylor refused to accept the prize money for the Nestlé Children’s Book Prize 2007 after he learned about Nestlé’s unethical marketing practices. Thanks to Bliss-Breastfeeding for the heads-up on that story.
The Canadian Press interviewed stand up comic Kate Davis about her new book, Breastfeeding Diaries (Let’s Dish)
Whoa, that book sounds hilarious! Can’t wait to read it.
