My dh came home from work yesterday and relayed this story to me. I was so excited and proud of him
He works as a Naval Officer Recruiter and yesterday a young lady came into his office hoping to apply. She is currently pg and want to defer until 12 months after her child is born so that she can breastfeed! My dh starts talking bfing up and how I did bf our son and will our dd. And, it such a great thing to do. Rattle off some stats that I've battered into his head. She was so receptive. He even asked if she'd been to LLL yet. And, she said no, but she'd heard of them. Dh told her to make sure to contact one of the local groups. because they're awesome and can provide so much support and help!
They even talked about her birth plan, and apparently she's going for a HB. So, we both really hope that will work out. They're a little tricky around here.
I just thought it was awesome that my dh took that bit of time to do a little advocacy on someone who seemed very receptive. I'm glad it's important to him too.
