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. Heidi S.
