The New England Mamas support all mothers as they love and feed their babies. The League of Maternal Justice is hosting a virtual Breast Fest today. A member of the League says:

We'll be asking mothers across the blogosphere to whip out their weapons of mass nourishment and feed their babies live via web cam in a Virtual Nurse-In, or to send us pics of themselves in their past or present breastfeeding glory for a montage breastfeeding video footage that might just make Bill Maher fall off his chair. ...Not a breastfeeder? We love your boobs too -- but in case you don't feel like flashing them, write a post, or put up a snazzy boobalicious button. Boob-shy? Same goes for you - you don't have to bare your breasts to support the cause.

Whether you're a nurser or not, I think we can all agree that being a mom is tough enough without having to defend your choices to insensitive passers-by. Visit the League today or post a story of your own (like this one here) in support of all moms who just want to have the freedom to do right by their babies.

Let's hear it for Alex!

Congratulations to our own Alex Elliot on her extremely successful appearance on the Morning Show with Mike and Juliet show today!

Alex was contacted to be a guest on the show because of a post she wrote on NYC hospitals (as well as what Massachusetts hospitals tried to do in the past) who were banning free samples of formula from the care packages that new moms took home after delivering their babies. If you have not done so, please go check it out.

Alex, who is pro-breastfeeding but could not breastfeed her children without heavily supplementing due to medical reasons, did a great job of getting to the heart of the matter in her post, stating that mothers are smart enough to make their own decisions as to use the free formula or not.

Congratulations, Alex! I hope I can speak for everyone when I say we're really proud of you!
