I'm really keen to participate, as would many local mums??!! Do you think that Australia could be registered as a participating country? I’m really keen to participate, as would many local mums??!!

I agree that could certainly affect participation this year. Hopefully though the event will continue to grow, and I am glad you'll be putting up a reminder!

Reid tells me more and more often that she doesn't want milkies. At nearly 4, I think that she means it. October 11th is an unfortunate day to choose, I think, since it is the Saturday of the Thanksgiving Weekend in Canada. I would imagine many people will be travelling that weekend. I'll post a reminder on my blog closer to the date. The challenge offered good opportunity for raising the public profile of breastfeeding. I doubt that I’ll be participating this year, either.
