Take Back Your Breasts

In Honor of World Breastfeeding Week

Breastfeeding is not something that is learned innately. It is learned by observing other women doing it, seeing it in everyday life, and it's success is dependent upon support. Even gorillas in captivity will not breastfeed if they are not shown how. The movement to bring more awareness to breastfeeding is about the children - their comfort, their needs, and their health. Formula, while sometimes necessary, will always be sub-optimal. Breastfeeding also enhances a mother's health and reduces her risk of various cancers. Put another way, by *not* breastfeeding, a woman could increase her chances of breast, ovarian and other cancers.

Woman of the world, take back your breasts from the abuse that the advertising industry has done to them, by making them purely objects of lust. Help teach our upcoming generations how to feed their babies by being an example. We need our villages. "Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior.. so that they may encourage the young women" Titus 2:3,4
