Best Thing All Day

 Remember Alicia Silverstone?? Clueless? Aerosmith video?? Lol!  Well, she is also a very good mommy to her babies.  She started this blog (among other things) for mothers who needed help finding breast milk for their babies so that they can have the very BEST start in life.  What a great idea!!  I am in love with the whole breastfeeding movement going on right now.  And my how this may have come in handy when I was struggling with milk supply with Eden (I just have to keep telling myself that she got 5 months worth).  What a great alternative to the toxic crap in can.  I just keep thinking about the recalls of the Similac with the beetles or whatever in them. No beetles coming out of women's boobs....at least I hope not, lol!

 This is her post from her blog:

A couple weeks ago, another mama I know gave birth to a son. She e-mailed to let me know how things were going, and she was beside herself. She'd tried to do everything so that this baby would have the healthiest, happiest start in life--she nourished herself during pregnancy with clean, kind foods; had a beautiful home birth; and planned to breastfeed from now until her son could say, "No thanks."  But because of a breast reduction surgery, she found she wouldn't be able to make enough milk for him, no matter how much precious boobie time they spent together. She tried reaching out in her community for donor milk, but it was almost impossible to figure out what kind of lifestyle choices the donors had made. And after all that hard work keeping herself vibrant and healthy, she felt she had a right to demand better for her baby.
A lot of women unfortunately have a similar struggle, and there's no reason why they shouldn't be able to give their babies the most amazing start in life with clean, mean, glorious breast milk. And because we are a community of beautiful souls who recognize the importance of food as health, I say we help support those mamas and babies who need a hand during one of the most important times in their lives. Welcome to the Kind Mama Milk Share, a way for moms to connect with other moms in their area. If you have milk to share--post it here! If you are in need of milk--post it here! Think of all the babies we can help raise together! It goes without saying that common sense precautions should be taken.
