NIP tip:
Nursing
a Baby in Public: What is a Mother to Do?
NIP Inspiration:
"Women shouldn't have to choose
between breastfeeding and having a life. They should be able
to go anywhere and do anything, with their baby in tow, and
they should be able to breastfeed their baby whenever and
wherever they happen to be when the baby needs to be fed."
-- Katherine Dettwyler
What to say when confronted about NIP:
"My babies could be tantrumming now instead of being content--which
would you prefer?" -- Karla

We can't wait to see what great press coverage we can get for 2007!! We will begin to add the information Here
We would also like to extend a huge thank you to Mark at CrafTime Custom Buttons for providing our NNO Buttons this year (and in years past)! His work is fantastic and we are proud to have been able to work with him. If you are interested in having buttons made, you can contact Mark by emailing him
In honor of World
Breastfeeding Week, we encourage our members and all breastfeeding
mothers to go out during the week of August 1-7 and breastfeed in public.
We don't mean your regular routine; we mean go out specifically
to nurse in public!!
Why participate in the National Nurse Out?
ProMoM hopes that by promoting the image of breastfeeding
in this way, more people will accept breastfeeding as a natural
everyday occurrence and the normal way to feed infants and
young children. We also want to encourage expecting mothers
by showing them that it is possible to breastfeed in public
without anyone being embarrassed.
