Today I returned to work as a salaried employee...and I was the one with separation anxiety. All is well and I'm off to snuggle with my cuddle-bug!

Its World Breastfeeding Week!

This week is World Breastfeeding Week! There's lots going on in the blogosphere, and here are two posts that really touched me:

• Stephanie wrote a guest post on CodeNameMama about how nursing her baby to sleep is sacred time. (On Stephanie's own blog she also has great post, divided into two parts, called the "Fanatical Breastfeeder" which I also found very interesting.)
• On NursingFreedom is a guest post by Betsy on shame and breastfeeding an older baby. 

There's also interesting artwork - breastfeeding through children's eyes - up over at The Leaky B@@b.

And if you're an expecting parent/grandparent/friend, there's a FREE (one of my favorite words!) online breastfeeding class through the months of August and September courtesy of creator Shari Criso (hat tip: Best for Babes Boob Tube blog).

Finally, here's an awesome article on normal newborn behavior and why breastmilk isn't just food by Dr. Jenny Thomas, MD, IBCLC, FAAP, FABM.
