For anyone who's interested....Pease pass this on to all the radical breastfeeding mamas in your life!
I'm pleased and excited to announce the launching of Victoria's own Friends
of Breastfeeding Society group! To learn more about FOBS, read on. We will
have our first Victoria meeting at Green Cuisine (Market Square), on
Saturday, October 11, 10:30 AM - noon. We will meet near the children's
play area. All are welcome!
We are also starting a 'zine, which will be called Mama Mia! and will
spotlight homebirth, unhindered breastfeeding, intact baby, co-sleeping,
baby wearing, and more! It will be distributed free to members of FOBS.
Your stories, articles, poems and artwork are welcome!
Pease pass this on to all the radical breastfeeding mamas in your life!
Warmest wishes, Rachel
We are excited to extend an invitation to all the radical mama's on the
Lower Mainland also. The meeting will be on Saturaday October 18th
from noon to 2 pm. But the location is everything sooo.....please
send me your ideas!! I'd like to do things most likely in the Surrey
area or possibly near IKEA in Coquitlam someplace. Does anyone know
of a yummy vegetarian type place that is children friendly in those
areas. I could do it at my place as a buffet type thing, but I live
very un-central!! So any ideas would be wonderful!!
And do send this to ANY radical mama's that should know about this!!
Thanks ---Robyn

The Friends of Breastfeeding Society was started by Catherine Young,

Substitutes. Nestle violates The Code in Canada and around the world by
aggressively advertising and delivering formula samples to new mothers.
"One and a half million babies die every year because they are not
breastfed. Millions more become ill." -UNICEF
Show Nestle it is indecent to participate in baby deaths for profit. Join
concerned citizens around the world and Boycott Nestle!
