Call for Submissions for Mommy's Milk : A Breastfeeding Series

This February I will be embarking on a series of posts all about breastfeeding, and I am asking you to join me! I am passionate about breastfeeding, I feel it is the most rewarding thing you can do for your child, as you watch their health flourish. SO much has been said on this topic, SO many articles and breastfeeding stories written, and yet think back to yourself as a new mom, could you have done with more info? I think we all could have, even now there are areas that I have no experience with, and there is always room for research and writing :)
