I have a questions for you or any other IBCLC that would like to
contribute. I am an environmentalist. New textbooks for school
children are going to be written in NY. As a volunteer
environmentalist leader I have been invited to participate, providing
information and opinions on what content these books should have. As
an IBCLC sure I want to introduce breastfeeding. I see this as an
opportunity for us to show the children early of the benefits of
breastfeeding. Do any of you have a suggestion?

i just watched 'an inconvenient truth' w/ my 7 & 5 1/2 yo sons last night.
they were very concerned w/ what we are doing in our home to help w/ the
global warming crisis. i pointed out that we breastfeed exclusively and cloth
diaper, among other things. i asked them how they think breastfeeding can help to
not add to global warming. my 7 yo said if you don't use formula, you don't
add to the dumps all the trash and containers from it. he also pointed out if
nobody used formula, we wouldn't need the factories which pollute the sky and
help trap the 'bad hot air' around the earth. my 5 yo added that breastfed
babies don't use pacifiers or bottles so there's 2 other kinds of factories
and more trash we wouldn't need if everyone could breastfeed. they also said
breastfed babies' poops don't pollute the environment as much w/ stink as
formula poops do...but i'm not sure how that could be worded for a textbook, so
that can just be a tidbit for the enlightenment of us lactnetters! LOL
