Hey all,

I have a "breastfeeding page of fame" on the website that I run for my 
patients where I post the names of moms and babies that have nursed for a 
year (I post with their permission of course). I also give a special t-shirt at 
that 1 year visit as a celebration of the nursing milestone, and have a gallery 
on my wesbite showcasing the kids wearing their shirts.

A few years back, I was giving away lots of shirts ( I pay for them and it was 
getting expensive) and noticed how long the list was on the page of fame and 
started to joke that I should change the criteria to an 18 month length of 
nursing to make the list or get the shirt.  When I suggested it to the moms in 
my practice, almost every woman said that she wouldn't want people to 
know.  I found it interesting that so many people strove for that 1 year 
recognition but really didn't want anybody to know they had continued past a 
year.  

I'm in Wisconsin, so it's not just the south.
