Posted in Advertising, Babies, Breastfeeding, Children, Family, General Musings, Ireland, Lactivism, Mothering, Parenting, Pregnancy, Toddler, health, tagged , , , on 17 September, 2008 | 1 Comment »

I got a reply from the FSAI (Food Safety Authority of Ireland) today to my recent Cow & Gate complaint. And just in case I felt even a little bit special and listened-to, I soon discovered that many of my online buddies got the exact same, word-for-word, reply today.

I’m sure most of you folks in the UK & Ireland have seen Cow & Gate’s latest tv advertisement with the laughing babies. It’s on YouTube if you haven’t (is everything in the world on YouTube now one wonders?). It’s been around for a few weeks now, but we don’t have broadcast tv so I [...]

It’s World Breastfeeding Week from the 1st-7th August, and the theme this year is “Mother Support: Going for the Gold“. From the WBW site:

Breastfeeding imagery – a collection

Posted in Attachment Parenting, Babies, Breastfeeding, Children, Family, Lactivism, Mothering, Parenting, Pregnancy, Toddler, tagged , on 4 June, 2008 | 10 Comments »
