This is a web-book, made my Mums telling their breastfeeding stories.
It's an amazing slice of life, detailing how hard it is to birth, and
breastfeed, well, in our society.

Anyone can read the stories, but you have to log in (eddress and
password) to vote. There are poems too, and I've put two of mine in, so
I'm not asking you to vote, just telling you you can.
Apart from the richness of what is for itself, I imagine a lot of those
of you planning maternity and breastfeeding services, could learn a
great deal from all the things that medical support people got wrong in
these stories! And you'll get annoyed by some of the advice. But it is
Mums speaking to Mums, and I feel it's very important, for that reason. :-)
*Moment of Satisfaction
*Proudly sitting anywhere
and everywhere, deliberately.
Showing how it's done.
Milk drawn from deep inside,
complete openess, eyes drinking,
moments that are imprinted.
Skin to skin, feeling
utter satisfaction, gently drifting,
sleepily falling, into dreamland.
