]]> nablopomo-2008.jpgTime swiftly approaches for this year’s National Blog Posting Month, NaBloPoMo! Bloggers across the blogosphere will sign up to the challenge of posting at least once a day for the entire month of November. Last year I formed a Breastfeeding and Mothering Group, which now consists of 76 members. Are you up to the challenge? (I admit, I am not up to the challenge this year. I find having a 6-year-old, a 3-year-old, and a 3-month-old challenging enough at the moment!) You are certainly not limited to posting about breastfeeding — to join our group you simply need to be a current or past breastfeeding mother who writes about the daily life of mothering. This is a great way to find like-minded blogs, get in the habit of writing, and challenge yourself to meet the goal!

Leave a comment to let everyone know whether you’re in or out this year! Past participants are free to leave advice or share their experiences from last year!

]]> Welcome NaBloPoMo readers! I’m starting the month off with the first in my series of stories from breastfeeding mothers. If you’d like to contribute your own story, click here.

When I lived in Boston, I carried my daughter in the sling everywhere I went. Together we rode the subway, went for walks, shopped at the mall and even went out to eat. When my daughter was two months old, we went to Legal Sea Foods for dinner. As I waited for my order to arrive, my daughter decided she was hungry too. We weren’t yet pros at nursing in public, so I was a little nervous as I positioned her in the sling and latched her on. As she nursed happily I surveyed the dining area to see if anyone was watching us. Suddenly, the restaurant manager approached me. He said, “I’m sorry but….” My heart leapt and I prepared myself for him to ask me to stop nursing. He looked at me sheepishly and said, “We’re out of the shrimp tonight. What else can I get for you?” I relaxed and smiled, and I never worried about nursing in public again after that!

]]> nablopomo_yoda_120x240.jpgEver heard of NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month challenge in which writers attempt to bang out a 50,000-word novel in 30 days? Apparently the blogosphere got jealous and created a challenge of its own. Now there’s NaBloPoMo, National Blog Posting Month. Yes, that’s right, Breastfeeding 1-2-3 is up to the challenge of posting every day for the month of November. Be sure to stop by every day to look for new posts!

If you’re a blogger interested in participating in NaBloPoMo, check out the NaBloPoMo information page (but be warned, it’s not for the swear-word sensitive!)
