Later today I will post a review of the baby blog of 2007 so why does breastfeeding get its own category? Well, in part as an answer to readers who want to read what I’ve written on breastfeeding. I’ve written so much on breastfeeding at this point that you all have asked for an index of sorts so it’s easier to find what you’re looking for.
It’s also in part because I’ve become known as the breastfeeding lady. . .guru. . .whatever you want to call it. I’ve been at this breastfeeding business for a long time and many of you seek me out as a source of advice. I am far from an expert. . .but I’ve learned a few things here and there. So this index is a compilation of breastfeeding articles I’ve written since I have started, organized according to subject. I hope those of you who have used this blog as a resource, will find it helpful!
