The Awesome Reasons Why I'm All For Extended Breastfeeding

[caption id="attachment_1229" align="alignnone" width="1080"] Yes, that's us! [/caption] It wasn't until I actually became a mother when I realized how breastfeeding is kinda looked down upon. It was a shock. Throughout pregnancy I kept hearing how breast was best and even the first few months of Bear's life, that's all I heard. And then a funny thing happened - he turned 1. Then he turned 2. And as we're more than halfway

Black Women Do Breastfeed!

If you're on Facebook or you follow me on Instagram (@foxxy79), you may have seen this photo: "My son is almost 2 years old and still going strong!

We Got Our Own Thang

http://youtu.be/6uPWH3TziI4 This week kicks off National Breastfeeding Week and I'm about share my experiences with breastfeeding. I'm not going to lie - breastfeeding didn't just come naturally to me. In fact, I had to work really, really hard at it. You see, many books, websites, and even some mothers, will sell a new mother on the idea that breast is best and that a woman should try every attempt possible to
