August 1-7 every year marks World Breastfeeding Week. This is a time to celebrate breastfeeding, talk about the joys and challenges, thank those who have helped us succeed and encourage others. This year the theme is "Understanding the Past-Planning the Future".
My goal was to bring you many different perspectives on breastfeeding. So I thought a blog carnival would be a great way to do that. While I'll post something all week here, on Facebook and Twitter, this post has the links to lots of people's information on breastfeeding.
