    Thankyou wendiewoo.


    I shall order some to take to the tddler group where I live. I am still breastfeeding my daughter (21 months) more her choice than mine, and would be more than happy to publicise the benefits. How about cost saving which should be appropriate on this forum surely. when I think of how much it would have cost to use formula!! I cannot understand how some people may think that this is an inappropriate freebie. If you can't use it yourself take it to a local group who may benefit. It's surprising how ignorant people are about the benefits cost and time daving benefits associated with breastfeeding.

    And before anyone asks I'm not some greenpeace hippy type. (well I used to be, but that was in another lifetime). I just believe that breastfeeding is another thing that has been taken away by massed consumerism, that somehow something made in a factory is better and more nutritious than the real thing, Women need to be given information and the confidence in their bodies to feed their babies.

    O/k rant over

    I think a far better way of promoting awareness of the benefits of breast feeding would be to have a 'display your breasts' day ... it would bound to attract a lot of attention, and when people ask 'why have you whapped out your baps' you can reply 'I am promoting awareness of the importance of breast feeding'

    Firtsly Bubba_Shaboo you couldnt offend me lol..in my job I have to have a hind of leather plus hehehe!!!

    I usually wouldn't reply to posts as I do believe each to their own however the more I reply the more it bumps this post the more people become aware!!!!

    I used to post the breastfeeding items on a parenting website but the numbers have fallen and I saw this as a sure fire way of spreading the word.

    Harry you wanna see baps hun move to Norway they "get em out" frequently without hiding until children are 7!!!
    I wished upon a star tonight that I would see you once more,
    To hold you in my arms and tell you how much I love you,
    To hear your voice, to kiss your cheek oh for just one more time,
    But all I have are memories and a heart full of love and tears.

    Thank you. :) I have ordered some pens, keyrings and lanyards for my own use and will send some to friends. Isn't that what awareness is all about?

    Keep this one bumped up, wendiewoo. I'm sure lots of people here on MSE have got connections with pregnant women and mums etc, whether on a professional or a personal basis.

    Not too sure about Harry's suggestion though! :o;)

    I had an e-mail from the the people involved with this promotion to say that they have temporarily run out of stocks, orders may take a little while.
