Thinking about New Year's Resolutions? This month's Motherwear survey, asks you to pledge to do your choice of 3 things to support breastfeeding in 2007.
1) Say something supportive to a woman you see nursing in public
2) Thank someone who is/was an important source of support to you during breastfeeding.
3) Check that your pediatrician is using the new WHO growth charts for breastfed babies.
4) Help a woman who is having breastfeeding difficulty.
5) Make a donation of any size to an organization that promotes breastfeeding.
6) Print out the new International Symbol for Breastfeeding.
7) Talk to at least one pregnant woman, or a woman who has not had children yet, about the benefits of breastfeeding.
8) Learn what the laws in your state say about breastfeeding in public, pumping at work, and breastfeeding and jury duty.
9) If you have breastfed, take about 1% of the money you saved by not buying formula (about $15 per child), and buy or do something for yourself to celebrate your success.
10) Sign an e-petition or send an email to your representatives on an issue related to breastfeeding or maternal/child health.
