The Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque welcomed a baby giraffe last Tuesday.
The baby giraffe weighed 150 lbs. and there was a cute article in the
local newspaper.

Now get this, the *first* thing mentioned about this baby giraffe is,
" . . . and he is nursing fine." Imagine if every human baby in the
world received as much attention as this giraffe did for doing something
so normal and so important to survival--breastfeeding!

I wish people paid as much attention to breastfed babies and worried if
they weren't "nursing well."

This zoo is very "breastfeeding friendly" and they will bring a
traveling mammal display with babies to our World Walk.
