La Leche League's 50th anniversary

This week is the 50th anniversary of La Leche League's first meeting. Bravo to La Leche League and to all of her leaders for helping and supporting breastfeeding mothers and children all over the world. Here is a video discussing La Leche League and its beginnings- it sends shivers down my spine and spreads happiness through my soul.

A friend pointed this video out, a supporter of breastfeeding with a completely different twist. My daughter nurses her baby dolls and has them nurse one another. Many of them still come with bottles, however. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they were marketed to nurse and it was just a given to other little girls and boys that their baby dolls would nurse as well! Some of these babies in the video are even nursing toddlers- hooray!



Here is La Leche League's website if you want to check them out or donate some time or money.
