Breastfeeding news and views from a mom of colour

I have only recently found this blog but am enjoying it so thought to share. Growing up in Swaziland I have always considered seeing black women breastfeeding as kind of the norm but on finding this blog I realised that it is rarely something you hear them talking a whole lot about (maybe I am moving in the wrong circles) and I have very rarely seen the more affluent black moms breastfeeding in public (coloured and indian yes but very rarely the black moms) – I wonder why this is? (as said maybe wrong circles!?) I am sure I would have noticed I always notice when a mom is breastfeeding covered up or not.

I love this photo on our site taken by Leandre Warren

– if you know of any other great pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, babywearing, parenting, etc blogs please point me in their direction. I would especially like to know of the South African focussed blogs.
