In an unprecedented case, The Columbus Dispatch writes about how the Ohio’s Supreme Court must make a decision as to whether a mother was discriminated against when she was fired from Isotoner Corp. for breast pumping.

Wonderful letter from Danita Barry about the the Region of Peel’s “Formula? No, Thanks!” campaign. Her enlightened view, especially as a nurse, helps us understand that breastfeeding, AT ALL COSTS, is not always the best approach. Everyone agrees that breastfeeding is without a doubt the best way to feed your baby; however, we must not [...]
My name is Wendy, and I began this website as a place to have one central location for breast pumping and feeding babies. I pumped breast milk for my daughter for over a year and during that year looked around on hundreds of websites to get the information that I needed.
