This is just a quickie post – we just got back from L.A. late Tuesday night, where we spent a long weekend with Joe’s family at his grandfather’s funeral. Since we’ve been back, I’ve been busy with laundry and other catch-up chores, but hope to have some real blog time tonight.
In the mean time, Stephanie over at the Yarn Harlot has spoken my mind on the breastfeeding issue better than I can ever hope to. There has been a recent ruckus in the blogosphere and in the real-world media about a recommendation to encourage breastfeeding more by I think the American Academy of Pediatrics, but it might have been the World Health Organization or both. The scientific evidence showing that breastfeeding is important to the health and development of babies is overwhelming. Go read what Stephanie says to see how I feel. Even if you don’t care about nursing issues, go take a look at her blog – she does wonderful knitting and is a really cool person.
Oh, and she’s looking for fruit hats to help support the pro-nursing cause. I’m casting on for one today. If you knit, and are in the Twin Cities area, I’d be happy to help you start one too. I’ll even give you the materials you need.
