Bottle feeding? Here's a guide:

For anyone who isn't aware, lactation consultants are not anti-bottle feeding. We are always pro-babies, and pro-mothers.

TANDEM BREASTFEEDING : How Amazing is Breastmilk!!

This is an amazing photo. No Photoshopping of that postnatal tummy. This image says to me: love matters. It matters more than skinny jeans, tummy tucks and getting back to gym. It says: this is real, honest mothering. Babies don't care what you look like, whether you're in a field or on a sofa, whether your other breast leaks when you feed them, or how many stretch marks you have. They'll love you anyway. X

What an incredible day! This stunning image just won SECOND place over at the Birth Becomes Her breastfeeding image contest! A huge heartfelt thank you to this beautiful, courageous and inspiring mama for sharing her beautiful postpartum body. I would have never won without your idea and your openness to do such an incredible shoot.

Brilliant. Who here has had a traumatic breastfeeding experience? Who has gone on to have a successful one afterwards? Lx

Negative breastfeeding experiences can make special drives to encourage it all too painful for some.
