Mother of All Giveaways Boob Giveaway for WBW 2013!

Welcome to The Ultimate World Breastfeeding Week
Giveaway,
 co-hosted by The Leaky Boob, San
Diego Breastfeeding Center
, and The Boob Group.  This year’s
World Breastfeeding Week theme is Mother to Mother Support, which is what
we are all about!

World Breastfeeding Week is a time to celebrate breastfeeding mothers
around the world, as well as recognize the barriers that these same
mothers face as they strive to meet their personal breastfeeding goals.
Breastfeeding, as all things having to do with parenting a child,
requires a supportive network that guides, provides helpful advice, and
elevates a mother’s self-esteem.  Mother to mother support, in
addition to community support and education, are crucial to a mother’s
personal breastfeeding success.

To celebrate World Breastfeeding Week 2013, over 40
breastfeeding-supportive companies have donated items for 2 enormous
Breastfeeding Mom Prize Packages, each valued at over $600!  First,
we’d like to introduce you to the co-hosts of the Ultimate World
Breastfeeding Week giveaway.  Then, we’ll share all of the goodies
that have been so graciously donated.

Comments

  1. A kind word or a hand to pick up a dropped item for a stranger can go further than you’d know! We all have an interest in more babies being breastfed, longer.

    • I totally agree! Especially when you see a mom with hands full of baby and all his or her gear, helping out in any way can be so appreciated.

    • Heidi Dellmeier says

      What an amazing giveaway! So many products I never knew existed!

    • Robin Conaway says

      Such great prizes, I’m 37 weeks with my 2nd baby, had lots of trouble breastfeeding my first, would love to try these out!!!

    • Especially support and kind words to those breast feeding past the first year. Our society tends to look down on extended breast feeding, even though there are so many benefits for mom and baby. Definitely speaking out to support others who are breast feeding is so helpful!

    • Definitely, I know this helped me especially in the early days of my breastfeeding journey.

    • Love this giveaway! And love breastfeeding!!

  2. So excited about this giveaway! I’ve been EBFing my daughter since the day she was born 4 months ago. It hasn’t been easy, but I’ve been fortunate to have a great group of supportive friends in my life (both breastfeeding and formula moms!), and can’t imagine not breastfeeding my daughter at this point. 🙂

    • I’m excited, too! I EBF my son for almost 13 months and my husband and I are currently trying for #2. I plan on BFing the next baby for at least a year if not longer…I miss BFing now that I weaned my first a few months ago. This giveaway is great! Love the products, some I already use and some I’d love to try. 🙂 Thanks Leaky Boob!

  3. Michelle I says

    Breastfeeding for 13 months and not slowing down 🙂 Wonderful giveaway, so many great products!

    • 10mo here and no plans to stop!

    • Breastfeeding my second child, special needs 23 months and going strong (:

    • Rebecca Popp says

      8 months here and still going strong!! I love that special bond that you get with breastfeeding. I would not have gotten here without all of the moms at my local Mom2Mom and my husband. They were there to answer all questions concerns and endured all of my crazy-ness in the beginning.

  4. I’m so excited for this giveaway!

    • Me too! I am a first time Mom (only days away from my expected due date) and looking forward to meeting our little boy for the first time 😀 One of the things that I am most excited about is breastfeeding because it is such a wonderful source of nutrition for baby and such a beautiful way to bond. I’m so glad so many other women out there are just as excited – especially when so many women I talk to are horrified at the thought. They don’t know what they are missing out on!

    • Me too! I am on 5 months of BF for my little nursling! He’s our first!

  5. I love this!! Awesome!

  6. ashley fortier says

    Breastfeeding support pages got me through the first hard months of nursing! I have grown strength on many areas because of the positive support I have received and have given to friends! Breast is best, and when you think you can’t, turn to another mother for advice.

    Woohoo for mama milk! What great prize packs in this giveaway! I am jealous of the winners already!

  7. Absolutely love giveaways!! (:

  8. Anne-Marie says

    I have some of the amazing products in the give away, i am just so excited to be a nursing mother during world breastfeeding week !

  9. This is awesome! Thanks!

  10. Wonderful giveaways!

  11. I don’t know how to support and raise awareness about breastfeeding. I try not to judge or compete with other moms, and to just offer information or encouragement when asked. When other moms in my playgroup are bfing a new baby with a toddler, I try to help out with the toddler so they have a minute to breathe.

  12. As a mom expecting in 6 weeks i would love to win one of these packages!

  13. Angela Maines says

    I got the idea off a friend to make print-outs referring to the law in my specific state, benefits of breastfeeding. My next goal is to make cards that thank women for BF in public!

  14. Arianna Percha says

    Thank you for all that you do 🙂

  15. Patricia Stott says

    I love following you! Breast feeding support is so important to the success of all bf moms and their families. Well done leaky boob!

  16. I want that ergo carrier!!

  17. Thank you for the opportunity! Love your blog!

  18. Yay for breast feeding week!

  19. Mandi Nicole Silva says

    I would love to win!!! Love the Leaky B@@b for all of the support for bf mama’s! I’m a FTM who uses the suggestions and support from you daily! Thanks!!

  20. My nursling is nearly two, but, I would love love love this for him, and baby number 3!

  21. Amber Watson says

    I support all breast feeding mothers and offer nursing sessions with my photography business! I

  22. I would be thrilled to win a package! I have been using the same pump for 3 kids and to donate milk. I love breastfeeding and helping other moms to breastfeed through my teaching and trainings. What a gift.

  23. Sarah pollie says

    Preparing for my third little nursling to arrive in the next few weeks, would love to win this prize!!!

  24. Thanks for the giveaway!

  25. I love breastfeeding! I’m currently breastfeeding my 2 month old and my 2 year old. I love knowing that I’m feeding them the best thing I can possibly feed them! I also love the bond that comes with it!

  26. Thank you for all the work that you do to support breastfeeding moms. As a first time mom, support from my peers and experienced mamas has been crucial in meeting my own goals.

  27. Melissa Blanchette says

    Love the giveaway for World Breastfeeding Week!! Its great that there is a World Breastfeeding week 🙂 My daughter just turn 5 months and at first we had to supplement with formula because I wasn’t making enough but now we haven’t touch formula in 2 1/2 months and going strong 🙂

    • Reading your post takes some stress off of me. I’m worried i won’t make enough and be forced to formula feed. Thank you for sharing your success of switching back to breastfeeding. Gives newbies like me encouragement!

  28. I always give breast feeding items to new mothers. Sometimes all you need is a good cream!

  29. Kelly Bandy says

    🙂

  30. Ahhh! This is amazing, and such a wonderful giveaway!!!

  31. I love this!!!

  32. So excited to see a giveaway for breastfeeding moms. Sometimes its the hardest thing I do, but I know that it is best.

  33. Cheryl Rerick says

    Online support of breastfeeding has been so important to me! Without it, I’m not sure how far we would have made it. First, as a clueless first time mom. Then baby 2 with posterior tongue tie. I’m so thankful to live in an age where support is just a click away anytime of day or night:)

  34. Amaaazing giveaway! I utilize this site so often and rec to mama friends!

  35. I encourage other breastfeeding moms by attending La Leche League meetings where I offer advice and support from my own experiences. I also gently encourage family members with little ones. I’m currently bf’ing my 2 1/2 yr old and expecting #2 in November. Thanks for entering me!

  36. After unsuccessfully nursing my first 2 daughters, due to no milk supply and no support system, I can proudly say my newest daughter has been EBF for almost 3 months, with no end in sight! Thank you for your support – your resources are the reason we’re doing so awesome!! Thank you!

  37. So excited for world breastfeeding week, what an exciting week to show the world the sorry we have for breastfeeding. Thank you to the leaky boob and the other sponsors.

  38. I am a LL leader and going to the BLO with 2 kiddos!

  39. Sara Williams says

    I love checking out the Leaky stories and info- as a working first time mom, I need all the help and support I can get for breastfeeding. I feel fortunate and encouraged as part of this community!

  40. this is a great website

  41. We have made it 7.5 weeks so far…and still going strong!

  42. This is awesome. Currently chasing 2 toddler boys and pregnant with baby #3 due Christmas day!

  43. Crystal Tor Rakauckas says

    What an awesome contest and awesome prizes! Thank you to TLB and to all the companies who added to the prize packages! I hope to win!!! God bless!

  44. San Diego bf site newsletter subscription appears to be down?

  45. Carrie Jade says

    Ahh…this is amazing! I hope I win 🙂

  46. Teresa Chambers says

    I think it is very important to offer support and encourage women to breastfeed! So often women “give up” because of support and education on breastfeeding.

  47. This is an amazing giveaway! You guys are awesome!

  48. Holy Giveaway Batman!! Thanks to everyone rocking the support this week!!

  49. I would love to win all these goodies!

  50. This is incredible! Thank you!

  51. Megan Clodi says

    With my first son 5 years ago, I didn’t have the education, resources, and support I found this time around. Following TheLeakyBoob and other FB pages and websites help me work through some initial struggles. World Breastfeeding Week and other awareness activities helps empower women to breastfeed, do it longer, and pass support on to others. Thank you!

  52. Michelle L says

    This is such an awesome giveaway!

  53. Happy world breast feeding week!!!!

  54. I’m so glad I found the Leaky Boob! There is so much support, and I try to pass that along to my friends!

  55. I was one of those mothers who when I was pregnant thought I had to stop breast feeding when my son had teeth. I ended up breast feeding my son until he self weaned at 18 months thanks to friends and sites like the Leaky B@@b educating me on what is natural and right. I have now passed on so much information to family and friends helping them become educated just as I did 🙂

  56. kristen hughes says

    Such an awesome giveaway!

    I love breastfeedong. There os.no betterbond in the world

  62. Breastfeeding is normal and natural and my hope is that one day it won’t be a big deal at all! Like brushing our teeth or showering lol of course I am breastfeeding!

  63. LOVE that all these awesome companies came together to honor breastfeeding for us Mothers. <3

  64. Can I just say that I love these groups. My son is 6 weeks old and we have had 6 weeks of breastfeeding trials! These groups have provided so much support.

    Wow, all the prizes are so nice and wonderful. What a fun contest. I’ve been breastfeeding for three different children for the past 7yrs.

  67. Sherry Harmon says

    THANK YOU. Thank you for bringing awareness to breastfeeding. It saddens me that even today there is such a stigma surrounding it. As a breastfeeding mom and an advocate of all things breast, I appreciate that there are hard working people and organizations who are willing to take a stand and support mothers everywhere.

  68. Kim Craig says

    This is an amazing giveaway. Happy world breastfeeding week!

  69. I try to encourage other BF moms by sharing tips and my own experiences. 🙂

  71. Brittany paskin says

    I show awareness by nursing in public, it’s the small things.

  72. Lacey Gushue says

    Awesome giveaway!

  73. So, with my first baby I did not have the support I needed. I nursed 10.5 months while also supplementing with formula because my supply sucked. Do to lack of knowledge and support. With my baby now, I have had the support and knowledge and am still 100% nursing my baby girl who turns 1 tomorrow and I have no plans on stopping. I have been able to donate milk to other moms who have needed some extra help. I wish I would have know about these option with my son. Because of my struggles with my first I am a ballsy nurser with my second. I just do not give a damn. I will nurse uncovered wherever I am. Fancy dinner, walking down street, funeral, wedding, work and whenever and wherever she needs milk. I think this why I have been so successful. Also, due to the fact that I had such an emotional struggle with my first I have become a huge advocate. I have helped many of my friends and co-workers wives thru the first months of breastfeeding when they have been struggling. I love doing it and I love being there for others that need support and a little bit of cheer leading.

  74. Jennifer Hyde says

    I dont know if I wouldve kept bf if it wasnt for the support and advice and information from pages like this. It is awesome to see so much support. Out of 4 children only my last one has been breastfed. Going strong for 6 months and not stopping any time soon!

  75. Heather Stevens says

    I’ve been a big supporter of breastfeeding since I had my first son 7 years ago. I’ve always been open with my friends and online about my passion for breastfeeding and because of that I’ve had people I haven’t spoken to in years come to me for advice or guidance, or people send their friends/family my way because they know I’ll help them find the answers they need or find them someone who can help them! I think my open, honest, friendly approach brings awareness to those who wouldn’t otherwise ask out of fear!

  76. Andrea McMillan says

    I love TLB! You do great work.

  77. Madilynn Nolan says

    I’m so excited for this giveaway! I’m a 19 year old mom to a 6 month little boy & we live in WV (one of the states with the lowest breastfeeding rates). I’m a huge advocate for breastfeeding especially for moms my age 🙂

  78. Sarah Sale says

    I ran into another young mother in costco with her mom! The young mother and I exchanged glances as we both nursed out LO’s in the food area and then struck up a conversation. She’d not really seen other young mom’s BF and I was able to share with her about the free lactation tea at our local hospital, the nights/times of our LLL local meetings, and we traded numbers for playdates! I find the best way to support BF is to do it proudly and publicly when LO needs it, by setting a confident example you put yourself out there as a resource, an ally, a support system, etc.

  79. I had a very rocky start to breastfeeding my lo. I almost gave up several times but I had a couple of friends and support groups help me through. lo is now 17 mts and still nursing on demand. I have since then been able to give advice to 4 of my friends who are new to breastfeeding.

  80. The Leaky Boob has been a wonderful resource for me, a FTM, to continue breastfeeding my ten month old. In the face of our culture and other well-meaning folks (which can be very anti-breastfeeding at times), these blog posts and readers’ comments have been a HUGE encouragement. And it’s great because they’re easy to read on my smartphone while I’m breastfeeding. Win-win! 🙂 My breastfeeding journey has been, by far, one of the most rewarding and wonderful parts of my life so far! Thanks, Leaky Boob and Leaky Boob community!

    • Online resources have been a godsend. I am the only woman in my family who has breast fed. We had a lot of difficulties at first. The little one would latch on but wouldn’t suck (lazy thing lol), then we couldn’t get him to latch. I searched a lot for inspiration as I was so frustrated thinking I was doing something wrong, and I felt like I was already failing at motherhood. Breast feeding was so important to me. It was so nice to know I wasn’t the only one who had issues and now baby boy and I are completely in sync with each other.

  81. Rebekah Flamm says

    Breastfeeding your baby is one of the great and many things a woman can do. Awareness of this important natural ability is needed more and more these days. In an information savvy world, bf can be looked over and not given the credit it deserves. Keep up the good work, Mommas. You’re doing great!

  82. I love TLB and would love to win 🙂 I am not fiscally blessed to be able to buythese things

  83. This giveaway sounds amazing! Thanks for all you do to support us BF’ing mamas!

  84. Amazing giveaway! Thank you for all the support!

  85. Tiffany Coleman says

    Breastfeeding was a challenge for me from the beginning, the hospital I birthed at wasn’t as supportive as they said they were which resulted in reducing supply etc…however, I refused to give up. Using a breast shield, a hospital grade pump, and lots of patience, I have been able to EBF my 6 month old for months now! You’ll have sore nipples, moments when you and baby are trying to get used to it, but the feeling you will have when the two of you have worked together is beyond words. My little man is now 20 lbs of breastfeed goodness and we couldn’t be happier 🙂

  86. Stephanie says

    OH my goodness this really IS the mother of all giveaways! How exciting!

  87. You guys are a wonderful support for mothers!

  88. This is amazing stuff!

  89. Monica walker says

    Such an amazon giveaway! Thanks!

  90. I’m still nursing a 16 mo old and am due with another in Feb. My nursing journey is far from over & I’m very glad that’s the case. I really love nursing.

  91. Rebecca Grochowski says

    What an amazing giveaway! So exciting!

  92. Wow these are all amazing!! I would love to win one of these!! I love breastfeeding my son! Its the best part of my day!

  93. Jessica M T says

    I would love to win one of these prizes. As a breastfeeding mom of a 6 month old who works full-time, I can’t afford useful things like these. Anything that would make my life just a little easier with BFing would be nice in these hard times. I have struggled a lot with it but refuse to give up!

  94. Society needs to be educated and aware of all the benefits breastfeeding brings for both babies and mommas. Breastfeeding goes WAY beyond feeding your child. The nurturing experience alone is one of the most gratifying aspects of doing so. If it weren’t for sites like this, I would have given up long ago. I never realized how hard it could be. Even through the struggle I educated myself and chose to follow my determination of exclusively breastfeeding. And that needs to be OK with society. The only way breastfeeding will become the norm, let alone acceptable to society, is if awareness is fostered by us strong, amazing, breastfeeding women!

  95. After those first few months it gets so much easier! 11 months going strong!

  96. Erin rose says

    This is a fantastic giveaway from some amazing companies!!

  97. Suzanne C says

    This is such a wonderful giveaway to support breastfeeding! It has all the essentials for a new and experienced mama!

  98. Genevieve foresteire says

    I am successfully exclusively breastfeeding my first of 3 babies after having two failures under my belt. Even with a. Milk protein allergy and a strict diet of no dairy, soy or beef I persevere! I feel empowered and I will continue to give my little girl this beautiful gift for as long as I can!

  99. Tiffani Conti says

    this is a wonderful opportunity for all breastfeeding and soon to be breastfeeding mamas! thank you for all you do!

  100. This has a ton of items from my wishlist! Would love it.

  101. karen mcgrath says

    Squeeeeee!

  102. Rachel B. says

    What an awesome giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to participate!

  103. Kathleen m says

    I love TLB! It’s a wonderful support for breastfeeding moms!

  104. If it wasn’t for the support (both in person and online), I don’t think I would’ve made it to 25 months with my first and through the first two months (so far) with my second! Raising awareness everywhere we go and giving support to all mamas who need it!

  105. Gwen Saft says

    Thanks for the great information you provide. Thanks for giving us confidence and support. Keep doing what you are doing, we appreciate it!

  106. I just hit 12 months of breastfeeding my son and we’re still going strong! I’m so proud of our accomplishment and we were only able to do it because of awesome support and encouragement from other mamas and tips/tricks on how to troubleshoot issues as we went along. Breastfeeding is an amazing thing to share (not just between mama and baby but it’s important to share it far and wide to help normalize it again in our society which equates boobs with such different ideas than feeding baby). That is why things like WBW are so amazing!

  107. So excited.

  108. Farrah Salman says

    Wow, awesome give-a-way! Thanks, Leeky Boob!

  109. So excited about this giveaway!

  110. Lauren Quackenbush says

    Oh my gosh, these prize packs are amazing!! I think it goes without saying that I would LOVE to win!! 😀

  111. I love breastfeeding! that being said, I am the only one in my immediate circle that does it. I receive a lot ofcrapfor bf and even more for extended bf. I was skeptical to start in the first place but SO glad I did! We need to raise awareness so others will be more open minded to it.

  112. I am so excited to see this contest and even more excited to see the movement to naturalize breast feeding to the public. When I breast fed my daughter I was super shy and didn’t want to discuss the longevity of my nursing, I didn’t nurse in public I would go sit in my car in fear of rude comments or stares.a Now that I am breast feeding my twins I have gained the confidence to not e shy about my breast feeding goals. When they are hungry they eat. I don’t worry about running out to my hot car or hiding out in a room missing out on visiting people. So thank you for this awareness and celebration of the most natural way to feed our babies:)

    Telling a woman that it isn’t easy and to
    Stick with it!

  114. Tracy Wheeler says

    I’m a BFing momma of my 3rd boy who is 6 mo old. I’m such a strong believer in BFing and encourage as many as I can to try and I try to help with my knowledge as much as I can. I love this website and I’m so excited for this contest!

  115. Great giveaway 🙂

  116. The most awesome support for breastfeeding mamas and pregnant expecting mamas and now the most amazing and relevant prizes a mommy could ask for!!! Thanks leaky boob!

  118. Natalie S says

    These packages are incredible and will definitely help with making breast feeding so much easier!

  119. Kassie Brandt says

    I would love to win!

  120. I think that support is essential in the breastfeeding journey. It can make the difference in a mom’s decision to breastfeed or not.

  121. I’ve had some ups and downs with breastfeeding but I know I’m trying my best for my little one. So we are keeping at it!!

  122. Samantha Robidoux says

    Would love the carriers. The rest I would share

  123. I support breastfeeding by posting information about breastfeeding on my fb and twitter pages, in an attempt to normalize conversation about it. I also support my mom friends who are new moms with encouragement, texts, and giving helpful tips about nursing.

  124. Elizabeth Gliot says

    Happy WBW!

  125. Happy breastfeeding week to all the mamas!

  126. Would most likely not have been successful breastfeeding if not for my 2 “breasties”! (Mamas with LOs who offered consistent support and answers to my questions no matter the time of day.

  127. 4 months EBF!

  128. I support bfing in many ways; by example, around friends & family & am an open book for tips & support!

  129. Stacy Leslie says

    I love this giveaway!! Please pick me!

  130. What a great contest with so many amazing prizes!

  131. Thanks to the support and encouragement of my local Monday Morning Moms and La Leche League chapters and from Facebook groups including The Leaky Boob, I met my goal of breast feeding my son for a full year (even with going back to work full-time) and have decided to breastfeed until my son decides to stop. During the past year, I have met (in person and online) so many moms who have been supported and encouraged this way.
    Keep up the great work!

  132. Excited about these awesome prize packs! I’m due with #2 in January (and still BF #1!) so they would certainly come in handy!!!

  133. I’m part of our local LLL group. I’m constantly encouraging & offering support wherever & whenever I can!

  134. I love The Leaky Boob. It has been a great form of support the last six months!

  135. Luisa Sanchez-Alvarez says

    Not sure if am posting this in the correct place or even answering the question correctly. But I support raising awareness of breastfeeding and encouraging others to breastfeed by: by breastfeeding my daughter, sharing information that supports breastfeeding and just be supportive to everyone who decides to breastfed their child and give encourgement to those that are having a bit of a hard time with it.

  136. Melissa Duenas says

    I’m so excited about these giveaways!!!

  137. As a new mom, breast feeding was one of the hardest parts about adjusting to motherhood. I am so thankful for all of the random people (that I never expected) who helped support me to continue breastfeeding for 18 months with my first child. After this experience, I have tried to become an advocate and support person for anyone in my social circle who wants to breastfeed. I feel like all breastfeeding moms share a special bond. It has been such an amazing experience!

  138. What a great way to celebrate WBW!

  139. kayla wiseman says

    Happy National Breastfeeding Week!!!! So exciting!!

  140. Rachelle Sharp says

    I am currently breastfeeding my son who is 3 weeks.. I only lasted 2-3 months with both my daughtrs.. I’m hoping with the support of others and this page ill be able to go much longer

  141. Awesome!

  142. What an amazing giveaway! Plenty to keep and share with others, too!

  143. I love all the support we get from the breastfeeding community. Definitely helps make it such a better and rewarding feeling! Thank you so much.

  144. Awesome giveaway!

  145. My city has started an new breast feeding support for nursing in public. It is great to get and give support from strangers in the same boat as you.

  146. It is obvious that our society as a whole needs more education on breastfeeding and it needs to become the norm. When I had my first son I was so scared to nurse in public because I had never even seen a woman nurse her baby. I was 27. My husband made it normal for me by making sure that I never felt unwelcome anywhere because of the face that I had to nurse my baby, and he would point out other moms nursing their babies to show me that it was NORMAL and no big deal. With my second I was much more comfortable and I owe it all to him. It should not have had to be like that, everyone should know how a boob works and what it is made for and people should not be made to feel uncomfortable for following natures design. That is why I love the Leaky Boob.

  147. I think its great the work people are doing to try and promote breast feeding. Can’t believe how hard people have to fight for something that is so natural and healthy for babies and children. Keep up the good work everyone 🙂

  148. Kristi Gooddine says

    I love how you shar e all the information on breastfeeding. With baby #3 coming in a few days I hope that the 3rd time will work. I have been doing all the research I can and it is awesome to have a place of encouragement and support! Thankyou for all you do! This giveaway is awesome! 🙂

  149. “World Breastfeeding Week” is something I would have never thought twice about 2 years ago. My first nursing adventure ended in a series of booby traps and false information at 3 months. When my girl was 9 months old, I found out I was expecting again. I spent the ENTIRE pregnancy reading books, following blogs, and scouring facebook pages for guidance and support. When my baby was 8 months old, I enrolled in school full-time, pumping and avoiding any ‘suggestions’ to stop or introduce formula. We are now going strong at 15 months of breastfeeding, I am about to start my 3rd semester in school full-time, and intend on pursuing a career of post-partum nurse/Lactation Consultant. My friends (and even acquaintances) message me for advice or ideas, and I feel like I’ve found my true passion — returning the support I’ve received from many wonderful people to others — to help them succeed in their breastfeeding journeys!

  150. This is awesome. Yay for breastfeeding and yay for mothers supporting mothers!

  151. Kate york says

    Awesome prize packs!

  152. Tisha Benavides says

    Breastfeeding Rocks!!! 🙂

  153. These prizes are amazing. I would love to share them with other nursing moms I know.

  154. Being able to read posts daily of other Mothers experiences with breastfeeding has helped me better my breastfeeding relationship with my daughter. Thank you so much for your sites,

  155. It is so important to have not only a support group, but a support group (including husband/partner) that supports nursing in public. Even if it’s with a cover. You have to be out and about you can’t just hide in your care or go back to your car or house each time baby needs to eat. 🙂

  156. Nicole brown says

    Omg whoever wins is one lucky momma

  157. What an awesome giveaway! Brought me out of lurkdom, lol. I try to share my breastfeeding experience with new moms to encourage and support them. Before I started breastfeeding my daughter, I had never seen a women nursing a child, except in pictures. I’ve dealt with a pretty major lack of support from my mom, which really hurts sometimes. I’m also a working mom, so I feel like I have a good perspective on pumping, which I also try to share.

  158. What an amazing selection of prizes 🙂

  159. I would love to win for me and my 7month old!

  160. Anna Lavarreda says

    I love breastfeeding week! The outpouring of support is wonderful!

  161. It is paramount to the cause to normalize breast feeding in our society through public nursing, and advocacy. But supporting other moms in their journey (however it looks to you) is also of the utmost importance. Bring her a meal, be a shoulder to cry on, encourage and assure her that its okay to nurse her baby whenever and wherever she needs to.

  162. Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Keep up the great work Mamas!!

  163. MY little one is almost a month old and and we’ve had our ups and downs already with nursing. The Leaky Boob community has been a huge help and is a great way to find support with other breastfeeding mothers. Breastfeeding is beneficial to both mother and child but is certainly not easy, especially for the first time mother. All the help and advice is a great resource for any mother or mother to be.

  164. Chelsea powell says

    I’m so excited for this giveaway!! Woohoo for breastfeeding week. I’m excited to share with other moms about this precious journey.

  165. Jasmine Lunamdre says

    thank you for all the help and support your site gives to BFing moms.. this is my second child and my second attempt at BFing.. and the first time we have had success.. it is so much harder than one would think and sites like yours help moms like me succeed!

  166. Andrijana B says

    So excited it Breastfeeding week i can bombard my facebook page with all the wonderfull info i get from your page and others like it– I am the first of my friends to sucessfully breastfeed without supplementing for 5 months and hope to go on for a year when the time comes i hope to be there to support them in their breastfeeding journey —

  167. Michelle Bailey says

    Thank you so much for offering real support to moms who wish to breastfeed!

  168. Susan Thimons says

    The Leaky Boob has pointed me in the right direction or answered my questions so many times in my 11 month (so far) journey of breastfeeding. Thank you!

  169. This is an amazing giveaway! I’d love to win but whoever does is a a lucky lady! Great gifts! Thank you!!

  170. Laura Kuboniwa says

    Wow, this is fantastic! Thanks for everything you all do for breastfeeding support. Without online groups, I’m not sure I’d be nursing today. 🙂

  171. All these products look absolutely amazing! <3

  172. The leaky boob rocks! You guys are awesome! You have helped me tremendously through my breastfeeding adventure and kept me chugging along with confidence through good times and in bad. Breastfeeding can be a struggle at times but persistency is the key. Here’s a shout out to all
    you mommas who have had a C section and Breastfed. Way to go! Keep up the good work and turn to Tge Leaky Boob for your unanswered questions. Don’t give up!

  173. Bethany Wallen says

    I refer to this blog often for support with breastfeeding issues. I especially loved the recent post on modesty and the Bible in regards to breastfeeding. Keep up the good work! My hope is that breastfeeding will be the expected norm, and formula becoming rare.

  174. Happy Breastfeeding Week to all!! Very cool prizes 🙂

  175. Michelle V says

    I try to encourage new moms to at least give a try, any bit is beneficial to baby. I nursed mine until 23 months and will share with anyone who wants to know!

  176. I have breastfed all 3 of my children, and currently the third is my 7 month old nursling. Nursing was the best choice I’ve made as a mother!

  177. Cassie Dull says

    Amazing giveaway! Love all the work that you do for breastfeeding moms!

  178. Thank you for the chance to win such a great package as well as all the support you have all offered myself and many others during our breast feeding relationships.

  179. Wow!! This has got to be the best giveaway ever!!!! Thanks so much!! X x

  180. What an amazing giveaway! I am a breastfeeding mom of two and I hope that this World Breastfeeding Week can bring awareness to the wonders of nursing! More support is needed, especially for new moms. I nursed my oldest until he was 19 months and I was 22 weeks pregnant with baby boy number two. He’s currently almost 8 months and still nursing. I wouldn’t have made it as far without the great support from The Leaky Boob! thank you!

  181. Amanda M. says

    I think it can be useful to share your breastfeeding goals with those close to you and involved in your child’s care. This way everyone is on the same page. I post frequently on FB about nursing and have reached out to expectant moms I know to let them know I am available if they have questions. I was surprised how many responses I got and how many felt more confident to nurse after having asked questions.

  182. Jennifer Kincaid says

    This is so awesome! I’m a first time mom and am super excited for my first bf week as a bf mom!

  183. I hope I win!

  184. I was so happy to find The Leaky Boob! I had a fair amount of support, but when I started having an oversupply, my network couldn’t really help. The network of mamas here helped me through. I’ve also surpassed my goal of 1 year, and am still going strong at 16 months.

  185. Andrea Bullmaster says

    Without support, I never would have been able to nurse my preterm son. We are still nursing at 17 months!

  186. Jenna ferguson says

    I would love to win!

  187. Sarah Kohn says

    Currently pregnant with our 2nd and still bfing our 25mo daughter, so one of these amazing stashes could definitely come in handy! And love the goal of mother-to-mother support – that is what we all need when the going gets tough 🙂

  188. Happy Breastfeeding week — what an awesome giveaway!!

  189. Meagan Mohr says

    Wow, what a great package from some amazing companies!! I’ll be having a baby this October so it’ll all come in so handy!!

  190. I commented! Exciting giveaways! Fitting for my one month old!

  191. Diana Carroll says

    I hope I can win a package. I am currently breast feeding my daughter, who is only three weeks old today! My supply is low right now so hopefully the fenugreek & reglan will help. I want my daughter to have the best nutrition & health possible. 🙂

  192. Holy giveaway Batman! This is exciting!

  193. Wow this is an amazing prize pack!! Would love to win (especially as I’ve got baby #2 on the way!)

  194. I loved breastfeeding my first baby (now 2.5 years old). We just found out that we are expecting number 2 and I’m so excited to start a nursing relationship with his new little bean. Winning one of these giveaway packages would be so awesome right now. The support from fellow breastfeeding moms was so important I me while I nursed my first and I’m sure it’ll be just as important for this next nursing adventure. Thanks to reading late night posts on TLB Facebook page I stayed at least somewhat same during late night feelings. Hooray Leakies 🙂

  195. Support for moms is a huge deal. With my first two, I didn’t BF very long because I had no support. My next two I BF much longer, past two years for one. With my new baby, we’ll go as long as the baby wants! Mommas, you can do this!

  196. Wow, would love to win!!

  197. I love these packages! I never would have thought I’d bf this long and I have this awesome online community to thank for so much encouragement! 13 months and still going strong!!

  198. Way to go all you mama’s out there who are nursing their little ones! Yay to breast feeding awareness week!!!!

  199. This is a great opportunity to get geared up for this next babe on the way! Thank you for supporting breast feeding mothers!

  200. I so want a Hygeia. I really hope i win. Thank you for all you do to encourage breastfeeding! It’s great to have such a fantastic resource available.

  201. Would be so excited if I won

  202. Sharlaina Bugg says

    Awareness is important! I feel that many women feel that it is harder to Breastfed than bottlefeed. Which is the other way around. We need awareness so it becomes normal again!

  203. Wonderful giveaway!! Thank you! Really wish I saw more breastfeeding moms here in Miami… Normalize breastfeeding!

  204. Emma Nieves says

    Breast feeding is the perfect food for our babies and it’s such a beautiful and relaxing thing to do… It saddens me that there is so much social stigma for Mama’s who do it in piblic!

  205. I make sure to use gentle, positive language when talking with a mom new to breastfeeding. I give advice only when asked so as not to offend, and make sure she knows she’s doing wonderfully!

  206. I am a proud breastfeeding mom of four-month-old b/g twins!!

  207. Amber Velazco says

    So proud to be a breastfeeding momma and thankful for groups, events like this! Happy Breastfeeding Week!!!!!!!!!!!

  208. I think one of the best ways to support breastfeeding moms is to normalize it: just do it! The more people see it, the more it becomes commonplace, and the more comfortable everybody will be!

  209. Stephanie Armstrong says

    As a l&d nurse I understand the importance of good knowledge and education for BF women. Especially those with limited or no support at home. I recommend the leaky boob to lots of people!!

  210. Wendy Weng says

    What a great giveaway!

  211. Cortney Manis says

    What a great giveaway!

  212. Mandy Ferris says

    I am currently breastfeeding my 3 month old twins and would not have been able to do it without the support of my husband, family, friends, and hospital staff. It is so so incredibly hard, but it becomes easier and more rewarding by the day. There is nothing like the bond that nursing creates!

  213. Cheryl Pearce says

    Awesome! So excited!

  214. Katherine Dixon says

    If breastfeeding moms have more support from the community, I feel like more moms would 1. breastfeed instead of formula feed, 2. nurse in public without shame 3. allow babies to self wean.

  215. As a new doula (and bfing mom of a 14-month-old) I would love to win one of these packages to share the goodies with my clients!!!

  216. chandel miller says

    I love breastfeeding and wish that I was more educated to have breastfed my first two kids

  217. Katy Bush says

    So excited about this giveaway & world breast feeding week 🙂

  218. Having support from other mothers is super helpful when trying to breastfeed. With my first, she wouldn’t latch. I had no support and I didn’t know what I was doing. I didn’t realize I had flat nipples and I ended up not being able to breastfeed her. With my second, I tried so hard to research as much as possible and talk to other mamma’s who were able to breastfeed and have them on hand for any questions I might have with my second. We had a rocky start, with jaundice and a broken collar bone and colic, but I pushed through with their help and over 7 months later I am still going strong. Mom to mom support is imperative!

  219. Awesome giveaway! Very exciting!

  220. What an awesome giveaway! Thank you for hosting! And thank you for all the support your blog provides to all the mamas who breastfeed their babies!

  221. Jessica L. says

    How fun! I love giveaways but especially when they support my lifestyle decisions. WOOT!

  222. Support is everything, for a FTM knowing that you aren’t alone with your struggles is so important. I had people to reach out to, whereas I know not everyone does. Having groups like this to spread awareness and offer support may make or break it for some moms breastfeeding. Thanks for a great site!

  223. I think it’s awesome that you are doing this giveaway.

  224. I love breastfeeding! I try to share my experiences with other moms and talk to the when they are struggling or having other bfing issues

    • I have been nursing my oldest for 2 1/2 yrs now! I can’t believe it has been so long and it is communities like this that allowed me to know it was ok. Hope my five month olds will be as lucky!

  225. Heather A Shadd-Salbato says

    I would love to win some prizes. We have come a long way, longer than I thought. 6Mo + of ebf and it is because we found the right groups and internet pages like this one to help us along the way.

  226. Dawn Miller says

    I would love love love!! to win package #1!! After 2.5 years of bf my first baby I am headed for burn out! (And he’s not stopping any time soon!) This would help to reignite the bf passion!!

  227. this is such an amazing giveaway! so grateful for the information and support here!

  228. Fanny Sanchez says

    You guys are so awesome for doing this for us breastfeeding moms, I know there are plenty of women who could use all this stuff but don’t necessarily have the money for it; so thank you for everything you do!

  229. This would be amazing! I’m so excited to prepare to breast feed my second! I didn’t have the knowledge and support with my first.

  230. I would love to win!

  231. Jodi Gerstenhaber says

    Proudly exclusively breastfeeding my twins for 9 mos now with the support of some great groups like these.

  232. Janet Russo says

    What a great giveaway! We have another baby on the way now so it would be great to win.

  233. What an amazing giveaway!!

  234. Bree Egger says

    I have been making an effort to say positive words to mothers I see NIP. I was always nervous to with my first and words of encouragement also helped me through!

  235. Anna Lavarreda says
  236. What an incredible giveaway! Thanks for putting this on!

  237. Stephanie says

    I would have never made it past three days without my lactation consultant. Also, the online resources have helped me with every question I ever had.

  238. WBW is wonderful & I’m so glad to see so many people & businesses getting out there to build awareness! Our BF journey has been a bit of a struggle, but worth every minute! Lets do this Mamas!!!!

  239. Hi all just wanted to share my entry for World Breastfeeding Week Blog Carnival, all about my experience as a new nursing mother and the people who helped us and the challenges we faced!

    http://ohthesimplejoys.wordpress.com/2013/07/31/uncharted-territory-breastfeeding/

  240. I’m breastfeeding my 2nd lo and if it weren’t for the support I my husband I wouldn’t have made it 15 months with my first! I plan on going at least that far with this little guy!!! Don’t give up momma’s!!!!! You can do it!!!

  241. Stephanie Davis says

    Both of these prize packages are so completely inclusive and showcase such support for breastfeeding moms everywhere! How awesome is this?!

  242. Stephanie H. says

    AMAZING giveaway! I checked out both prize packages when breast feeding my 9 month old.

  243. Jen Koepl says

    I am so glad for this in the month my baby girl is due to arrive!

  244. stephanie says

    Ilove all the moms and the topics of leakyboob! Amazing!!

  245. Kathryn c says

    Encouragement and support are the most important things when breast feeding! Way to go Mom’s!!

  246. Genevieve says

    What great giveaways!! I’ve gotten such great information from the blog and the facebook page–it’s really comforting to know that there are over 100,000 people from around the world with such a wide variety of experiences to draw from as a resource for help! 🙂 And of course I try to help when I can too! 🙂 Thanks for being a great place of support!

  247. You weren’t kidding with this giveaway! Your site has been so helpful for myself and my BFF who is expecting her second & is ready to give EBF another shot after trouble with her first 🙂

  248. France Marion says

    Generous give aways

  249. Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Just want to let you know of my share on my blog:

    http://redfreckledmomster.wordpress.com/2013/08/01/its-world-breastfeeding-week-yay-for-giveaways/

    Good luck y’all!!

  250. I am so blessed to be surrounded by wise and supportive women who have boosted me along my breastfeeding and child-raising journey. I hope to be that support for others as well! Love The Leaky Boob! Thank you for all you do for the breastfeeding community.

  251. Support from other mothers and from the medical community has been essential in my success as a breastfeeding mother. Having other nursing mom friends has made nursing in public so much more comfortable for me and I’m glad I’m not scared to nourish my son, no matter where we are! He is 14 months old and we are still going strong with no plans of stopping. 🙂

  252. My daughter was born with a birth defect that made it impossible to bottle feed her (she choked from the fast flow of the nipples), which now, in retrospect, we are so thankful for. That really affected how we parent our children, including exclusively breastfeeding. I am convinced that breastfeeding her has also played a roll in how well she’s recovered from her birth condition. Now I’m breastfeeding her little brother, and again so thankful that we are breastfeeding. It has really helped me deal with some mild postpartum depression, and just bonding with him in general. As well as a bond for the two of them, as they do tandem nurse sometimes.

  253. This is a wonderful giveaway! I would love to win, but am just happy to know that some lucky nursing mamas are going to benefit from this! Thank you!!!

  254. Love this give away! I’m pregnant with our 2nd right now and I would love all these goodies to get started on the right “boob!” Thank you for a wonderful give away!!

  255. Tashina Kirk says

    I recently heard about the Big Latch On. I love that so many women get together for a common goal to support breastfeeding.

  256. I am so glad I get to participate in world breast feeding week! I had to exclusively pump for my son for the first 4.5mo of his life, but I was successfully able to switch to EBF and one month from tomorrow was the last time I gave him a bottle!

  257. I have found some great advice on here. It has also made me feel like people are starting to become a little more comfortable with breastfeeding and seeing it for what it really is. Thanks for creating a space where it is easy to speak your mind and people are very respectful.

  258. What a great giveaway for a great celebration!

  259. I’m really excited about this give away!

  260. It is great when breastfeeding is talked about because so many women struggle with it and are not encouraged to continue and are not aware they are not the only ones with the problem. Thank you Leaky Boob and other giveaways!!

  261. How exciting!

  262. Christina Saunders says

    This looks like an incredible giveaway!

  263. First time mama-to-be would love to score these awesome goodies!

  264. Jessica Duggan says

    Eeek! What wonderful prizes!! 🙂

  265. Corri Hammontree says

    I am super excited about this world breastfeeding event and proud to participate!

  266. Great give aways! Still breastfeeding my 1 year old and love it so much I am trying to get into lactation consultant work. I really want to help other mums especially as we have had all sorts or struggles. Also always trying to promote breastfeeding as much as I can 2 try 2 normalise breastfeeding as much as possible

  267. Christina says

    I have just quietly breastfed my son in front of friends and family. Some have said how they aren’t sure if they would ever breastfeed, but that I was the first person they’ve seen breastfeed that doesn’t make it look like a huge inconvenience. Hopefully I will encourage at least one of them to try it when they have a child.

  268. This is awesome! Amazing giveaway in honor of world breastfeeding week!

  269. It is so great to have a website like yours to encourage and support breastfeeding! I had a very hard time getting my first to latch and was so stressed out for the first 2mo this trying to feed him, I used blogs and support pages similar to this one to find encouragment to keep going. We lasted a year I’m happy to say! Now I am happily feeding number 2 with great success and much less stress! What a great opportunity your giving a bf-ing mom a chance to win such great products!!

  270. Kari Suhl says

    I love The Leaky Boob!

  271. Emily Secketa says

    This is the best giveaway I’ve ever seen!!!

  272. Awesome giveaway! Fingers crossed, baby due in November!

  273. Chin Ting says

    wow..what an awesome giveaway!!

  274. What great gifts. Here’s hoping I have some luck with one of my absolute favorite bloggers, Leaky Boob.

  275. Jessie Shimamoto says

    I love breast feeding my son. We share a special bond and I know mom giving him the best food out there!

  276. Vinessa Chapates says

    With new baby on the way, I’d love to win one of these packages!!! 🙂 So exciting!

  277. Nickki Freeman says

    I support and encourage breastfeeding by nursing in public, meeting my baby’s needs immediately and exposing and normalizing breastfeeding.

  278. Yay for giveaways. Yay for breastfeeding mothers! Yay for community and support!

  279. Kaylee Alissa Phillips says

    How cool! This will certainly raise awareness about breastfeeding for those who see and share! I am exclusively breast feeding for going on four months now, and it is wonderful! It gets difficult at times, my son likes to squirm and see the world. But with as far as we’ve gotten and how difficult it’s been, I’m too proud to stop! I plan on going until he is two, at least! Breast milk is liquid gold, and I love to give my baby boy the best! If any mommas have a hard time, keep it up! It’s worth it!

  280. This is awesome!

  281. Breastfeeding awareness is important to other brestfeeding moms. It’s a silent support for our right to feed our babies where ever/whenever they are hungry. I am a proud, currently nusring mom 🙂

  282. Mia Walshe says

    What an awesome give away! I’d love to win package #2!!!

  283. Desiree Smith says

    I love participating in my local LLL and I’m even working toward becoming a LLL leader. We actually have a meeting tonight and I get to meet a new mom who is struggling and hopefully get things moving in the right direction for the two of them. 🙂 I’m so exited to see all these wonderful breastfeeding mamas.

  284. Holy canoli! These packages are saaaweeet! Happy World Breastfeeding Week to everyone 🙂

  285. Mary Jane says

    Thank you for having this blog

  286. Just share your experiences with breast feeding with those moms who may be on the fence. First time moms can be scared off by horror stories. It is our job as experienced nursers to help alleviate those fears.

  287. I love reading everything on here, it is so encouraging. I never thought I would be as passionate as I am about Breastfeeding. I wouldn’t even be here, still Breastfeeding, if it wasn’t for my husband, he was there every time I thought and couldn’t do it, gave me food during growth spurts when I couldn’t even get out of the chair long enough to eat, and even did middle of the night feelings with my daughter. She would wake up crying, he would get her bring her to bed and wake me up enough to have me pull my shirt down. Then she would nurse and he would sit there until she was done and put her back to bed. Eventually we just bed shared (why we didn’t try it sooner, I’ll never know!) but he was amazing! I hope everyone has someone like my husband in their life and if they don’t I am thankful they have the leaky boob 🙂

  288. Lyndsey Fernandez says

    Breastfeeding is one of the most rewarding parts of being a mother. It is hard at the beginning, but it gets much easier with time. The confidence that you gain from knowing that your body is nourishing your baby is indescribable. It’s important that breast feeding mothers stick together and support each other in any and all circumstances because this is one of the most important things that we can do for our children from the very beginning, and every mother deserves 100% support.

  289. Erica Young says

    Amazing products!

  290. What wonderful packages. Yay world breastfeeding week!

  291. Lauren Renz says

    Awesome prize packages!! Love all of the great info!!

  292. Sarah Simmons says

    Support of a Breastfeeding mom is extremely important for the success of the adventure for the mom and baby. I grew up going to LeLeche League meetings and was lucky enough to be surrounded by many women who Breastfed. I admit I was amazed and shocked when my husband told me I would be breastfeeding our future children, this was the first time I had really experienced a man take a stance for breastfeeding! I think I fell more in love with him that day! I was also excited to learn that his whole family all breastfed. I was very excited when his grandma asked me how breastfeeding was going (my grandma bottle fed her children). All of that exposure I believe made all of the difference in my own breastfeeding adventure! I amazed my nurses, midwives, lactation consultants and my daughters Doctor with my knowledge of breastfeeding and my ability to overcome some obstacles. Like overcoming reflux without medicating my newborn. Having the availability to follow the leakyboob and other such pages on facebook and twitter is also a huge help… I see a post and think WOW I am not the only one to experience that. It is a sense of wonderment. As I find out more of my friends plan to breastfeed or do breastfeed I get excited and can’t wait to talk to them about it! It is very exciting to see so many young moms choose the best food for their babies!

  293. Chantel Burger says

    Mommies can have a rough start to breastfeed. Don’t give up! You can do it. :). It’s the best for baby. Lets show this world how its suppose to be. Stay boob strong! 🙂

  294. What a fantastic giveaway! I’d love to be the winner! Thank you

  295. I have a few blog posts about my tips/tricks for working moms to figure out pumping at work and sharing the many reasons I love nursing/mommy groups for getting the hang of nursing!

  296. Rachel Ross says

    What an amazing giveaway! I would love to win it and share some of it with my 3 relatives and friends who are all breast feeding too!

  297. Sara Miles says

    Thank you for this wonderful opportunity! I am currently 6 months pregnant and continue to nurse my two year old. It has been one of the best experiences of my life.

  298. BonnieJeanne Devoe says

    Some people have the nerve to say it’s illegal (!) to breastfeed here in public. Yeah right! I’m sorry, good sir, but I believe you have it BACKWARDS. It is illegal if I ‘don’t’ feed my precious babe. I think that’s called neglect. Get your head on right. Normalize breastfeeding!!!! Mama’s milk is best.

  299. Heather Shepard says

    How exciting!

  300. I believe there are TWO important ways to raise awareness for breastfeeding:
    1) education– the value needs to be taught in schools, hung on billboards, talked about at the playground, and shared at every doctor’s appointment. (nutrition, antibodies, bonding, reduced asthma and allergies, fewer: ear infections and bouts of diarrhea and respiratory illness, higher IQ, lower obesity rates, prevention of SIDS, etc) but also benefits for MAMA! (burning calories, uterine contractions help it go back to pre-pregnancy size, lower risk of breast and ovarian cancer and perhaps even osteoporiasis)
    2) More women need to do it modestly and publicly. People need to get used to the site of women feeding their children modestly. I ALWAYS use a cover and do everything I can do be modest. It is my opinion that women who breastfeed without doing their best to be modest actually HURT the cause.

  301. Great giveaway!!! Such wonderful products. It’s great to see so many people and companies who support breastfeeding 🙂

  302. There are some wonderful products now on the market that truly help with being able to breastfeed.

  303. I would love some of this awesome BF gear!

  304. you guys are the best support for breastfeeding mamas!

  305. I love your website and the amazing work you do to bring breastfeeding awareness to women, keep up the amazing work!

  306. Wish my LO was here already so I can participate this week!!

  307. Happy world breastfeeding week! (As I nurse my 18 month old before work!)

  308. Montira Polk says

    I love giveaways and this one is amazing! I really hope I can win!

  309. Kim Dobbin says

    Great giveaway!

  310. Love being a breastfeeding mom! I’m pregnant with #3 and looking forward to breastfeeding for the third time!

  311. This is amazing! You have no idea how much I need a pump and all of these other items are awesome! Thank you for the chance to win all of this!

  312. Jillian Olson says

    What a great giveaway! Happy breastfeeding week! 🙂

  313. Vanessa S. says

    These prize packs are amazing! If I won I would share with a family member who is due soon!

  314. I love The Leaky Boob. I follow them in Facebook. They are such an amazing resource for all nursing mothers.

  315. Christina says

    Becoming a first time mother this December and deadset om breastfeeding I relish the support and resources You guys give me!

  316. I support breastfeeding!

  317. Lindsay Sachleben Haupt says

    All of this is awesome! Thank you for putting it all together!

  318. What a great giveaway! Thanks Leaky Boob!

  319. Dorothy Young says

    1st This is an awesome give away.

    2nd the collective knowledge of online breastfeedinging communities empowered me to nurse my son until after his 4th birthday. 🙂 this baby the online community has encouraged and empowered me to share my extra milk with moms and babies in need. 🙂

  320. Amanda Purdy says

    Breastfeeding is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done in my life, and I wouldn’t have succeeded without all of the support and information available on The Leaky Boob!

  321. Sara Miles says

    Tandem nursing

  322. Cheyanne Williams says

    I am a new mom of a beautiful 7 week old daughter. I truly believe my decision to breastfeed is one of the best parenting decisions I have made.

  323. As a new mother to an almost 5 month old, my breastfeeding experience has been fairly easy and enjoyable, for which I am so grateful. I am now an advocate for raising educating my fellow mothers of the benefits, and supporting those who are breastfeeding, along with those who can’t for whatever reason.

  324. Chelsea Rupp says

    This is fantastic! Such a great opportunity for breastfeeding moms and also a great way for moms to get started into breastfeeding. I am so excited for this because my son is due August 9th so this falls perfectly to start right into my breastfeeding adventure.:)

  325. Christie T. says

    Breastfeeding has been amazing for me and my now 19 month old daughter (still going strong!) The hospital my daughter was born at now does skin to skin contact immediately and keeps the baby in the room with mom, instead of the nursery to encourage breastfeeding! This is awesome and helped us form a strong bond in the beginning!

  326. What a great giveaway! So many wonderful items to help a mom feel more comfortable breastfeeding!

  327. These prize packs look amazing!!!

  328. How awesome of a giveaway this is and how awesome are you ladies!!! Happy World Breastfeeding Awareness Week!!!

  329. Katherine says

    I had a really difficult nursing relationship with my first child due to some time in the NICU and low supply issues. I am currently nursing my 5 week old and it couldn’t be better! I was so nervous that we’d have similar issues this time around and it was sites and groups like the Leaky Boob that gave me more confidence this time around. Thank you!!!

  330. Stephanie-jean weber says

    I am currently nursing my 22 month old son. I love to raise awareness by breastfeeing in public. I also am training to be a midwife and love to help moms with breastfeeding.

  331. By feeding wherever you need to without being ashamed! To normalise breastfeeding. It is not a shameful act only to be done in private it is beautiful & natural & the best nourishment for baby 🙂

  332. Although I am not currently breastfeeding, I can’t wait for this new little one to join me in December. I am going to rock it this time… and I have already been considering many of the products in these giveaway packs.

  333. Great prize pack! Thanks!

  334. Elizabeth says

    LOVE this week every year!! Great way to get the word out and support other BFing mamas out there!

  335. Kristina Guidry says

    Just found out I’m expecting #4… This is perfect timing!

  336. Amanda Bradner says

    Both packages sound amazing!

  337. Christina Speed says

    I have 6 kids and have proudly breastfed every one of them at home and in public without reservation. My youngest is 8 months and I nurse her everyday in her carrier and my older kids are always proud of me that I’m so natural about it! I’m so glad to have this site to go to and see all the positive and encouraging posts, it helps make breast feeding more confidant and comfortable so, thanks! 🙂

  338. Thank you ! These are fab prizes!!

  339. Wonderful giveaway! I’m breastfeeding my third, and hope to have a 4th to breastfeed in the not too distant future!

  340. April Morales says

    Awesome contest!

  341. Suzanne Clark says

    I would be honored to win one of these packages. I try to do the best for my babies by feeding them for a year. .

  342. Jeanna Spears says

    AMAZING…if i win and it’s something i won’t need i have a pregnant bestie who would love it…thanks for everything you do!!!

  343. Caroline Hohal says

    Thank you for the amazing giveaways! Love your blog.

  344. Such fantastic prizes!! Good luck everyone

  345. I am excited about the giveaway!!!

  346. I try to give nursing supplies to expecting mommas as shower gifts, and I talk openly about bf-ing joys and woes to all the younger ladies in my life, including pregnant friends and cousins. Their minds are opening a bit at a time, and I’m so happy for them!

  347. Madison Pettie says

    Sport is vital with breast feeding. My husband is incredibly supportive which is how I get through the tough parts.

  348. courtney k says

    i’m so glad we have world breastfeeding week-we should have nothing but awareness & support-we are providing our child with food not doing anything shameful.

  349. The Leaky Boob helped answer to many of my questions as a new nursing mom with my first I am forever grateful!

  350. I couldn’t have found these excellent resources at a better time, I have a 5 week old and have had so much trouble with multiple infections and am determined to not give up. I want what’s best for my baby! Glad to have support from this online community, and find what I’m going through to be normal, and we will survive!

  351. Dorothy Beam says

    I think that sharing your stories and all of the information on this site is wonderful for breastfeeding moms. I have had a rough time breastfeeding both of my children. Currently, I have to supplement for my 3 month old daughter, but even at 3 months and supplementation this is longer than I was able to nurse my son. This is at least partly due to the support and knowledge on this site, as well as other sites similar to this. I’m so grateful that you are here to help me through this! 🙂

  352. This looks amazing!

  353. Danielle Eiklenborg says

    I’m currently nursing my fourth child, and I love this giveaway!

  354. Wow what a giveaway! Further reason to love breast feeding!

  355. National Breastfeeding Week could not be more timely this year. Nursing my 2nd, but struggling with working and pumping, and not being able to pump enough to keep up with what she needs, I was debating throwing in the towel at 7 months.
    I made it to 10 months with my 1st, before my supply dropped to the point that she stopped asking to nurse.
    So, with a new sense of purpose, I renew my goal to make it to a year (and we’ll take it from there).

  356. We can support and encourage breast feeding moms by helping them to feel comfortable nursing in public. And by nursing in public ourselves!

  357. I am breastfeeding my 12 week old & am planning on doing it for the whole 12 months this time. I like being ankle to see others questions& answers & be encouraged from them!

  358. I’m still breastfeeding my 19 month old and I’m so thankful for the online support of the Leaky Boob!

  359. Breastfeeding 1, now 2 kids for the past 2 years and no stopping in sight! Thanks, Leaky Boob for all the encouragement and answered questions you’ve provided!

  360. It is hard enough to BF…winning some wonderful products that help support Mom in process would be wonderful!

  361. Claudia Matthews says

    I have breastfed all three of my kids to varying degrees of success and look forward to doing so again with my fourth 🙂 able to gain more confidence and support each time. This giveaway is amazing and would be the icing on the cake of my bread feeding journey 🙂

  362. If it weren’t for the leaky boob we wouldn’t have made it to 14 months breast feeding (& still going)!

  363. Heather Downer says

    Amazing prizes!!!!

  364. Katie Watson says

    Support is crucial for breastfeeding success!

  365. Exclusively BFing my daughter for 14 months and now pregnant with second child. I would LOVE to win either of these packages to help start out again with #2!!

  366. This looks great! I am a new mom-to-be (expecting my first in December), and the leaky boob has been a fantastic resource as I try to learn all I can in preparation for baby’s arrival!

  367. Christine Bailey says

    Support is so important!! My husband has been a big supporter to me thankfully! I ebf my daughter till she was 6 months old and will continue to breast feed her as long as possible. She is now 7 months and we are trying some solids, mainly because she has expressed interest. It’s been hard with family because they want to give her everything, and are kinda wondering why I still breast feed. So please be supportive to mothers! It’s their decision!!

  368. Heather Stratton says

    What great products! I really enjoy all the great insight and info you provide.

  369. I have been breastfeeding for 30 months DD until 25 mo old and now DS 5 months old. They overlapped by 2 weeks. I looked to sites and blogs like these for encouragement and support and I love to pay it forward. Thank you for such amazing giveaways and prizes!

  370. Melissa Moffat says

    Love this. funny I am entering this with baby on the boob.

  371. I raise awareness simply by talking about it often. The more it’s part of normal conversation, the more normal it will be!

  372. Winning this giveaway would be INCREDIBLE! 🙂

  373. Thanks for the great giveaway!!

  374. Yay for breastfeeding week!

  375. I have turned to the Leaky Boob many times over the past 3 1/2 months of breastfeeding my second daughter. I didn’t BF my first born and really wish I would have. I didn’t feel like I had the support like I do now and it’s all thanks to BFing mamas that are willing to share their experiences and advice to help others be successful! Thank you Leaky Boob for giving an outlet for newbies like me!! 🙂 I am an EBF and NIP mama thanks to you!!

  376. Blogs like The Leaky Boob were really helpful as support while I was breastfeeding my first child, but I never would have made it nursing so long the first go ’round, or been so determined to do it again with the baby now in my belly, if it hadn’t been for the constant support of my husband and the help of the lactation consultant that my midwife sent to my house free of charge after my son was born. Hooray for amazing breastfeeding professionals and even more amazing spouses! 🙂

  377. Thank you for doing this giveaway and always providing great info!

  378. I help other moms by being willing to breastfeed in public! I hope that other moms who feel nervous, see that it is ok. I also am a HUGE advocate for it. I love you and everything you do for us bfing mommas!

  379. tyler jack says

    I support breastfeeding by sharing my (difficult) experience. I think it empowers women who think they can’t do it, to try a little harder. I also try, in a “non-pushy” way to share some facts about the nutrition with anyone who seems vaguely interested.

  380. I think that support is important not only for the women who are breastfeeding, but for women who want to breastfeed. If the information is out there, women can use science to back up their choice.

  381. This is the most amazing giveaway I’ve seen. It’s gotten everything a breastfeeding mom could ever want. I’m a first time mom due this fall and would love to win!

  382. This is such an awesome giveaway. So grateful for the work LB does to promote breastfeeding as well as make nursing moms feel empowered! Keep on keepin on!

  383. Rebecca Balls says

    This is such an awesome opportunity and would love to win either of this!! I’m a new mom to a 7mo old and we’ve been exclusively breastfeeding since birth! 🙂

  384. stacy hancock says

    i try to help support moms by being involved in my local LLL facebook group. i know how much that helped me, in addition to finding the leaky boob and kellymom.com

  385. Lisa-marie White says

    21 Mother Of 2 And Feeling Blessed That Im Breat Feeding!!! Did Not With MyDaughter Because I Was Si Yound With Not Alot Of Support

  386. Thankful for The Leaky Boob for giving me breastfeeding support I did not get with my first daughter, it has given me so much confidence with my second daughter!

  387. Danielle B says

    It’s a great connection between mother and infant and it’s so healthy for the baby!

  388. Wow what generous donors! Thank you so much for your Facebook group and for keeping this blog. I’ve struggled with breastfeeding and find a lot of comfort in the online breastfeeding community.

  389. Danielle Southwell says

    What an amazing giveaway! If I would be so lucky to win that would be amazing. I will be looking up some of these products to try on my own though 🙂 Wow!

  390. Wow, what amazing packages. I am still nursing my toddler and will have a new baby to nurse in December. The Leaky Boob has been a great resource to give me to the confidence to nurse my babies. Very few people in my family have nursed at all and no one past the newborn stage.

  391. This is an amazing giveaway! I want in on the swag.

  392. I’ve shared my love for breastfeeding with many ladies, and even shared how hard it has been for me. I nursed my first for 22 months through MSPI so severe I couldn’t even have red meat or anything cooked on the same equipment. I’m 15 months into nursing my second, and she also had MSPI, in addition to allergies to egg, chicken, pork, and corn. It’s been a struggle, but I would do anything to make my babies happy and healthy!

  393. I think raising awareness will help more new moms choose to breastfeed! I grew up in a breastfeeding family, but know that many others my age did not and have tons of questions about it, but shy away from asking others about it. I think online forums are great for that!

  394. I would not have been able to continue my breastfeeding journey without the support of professionals and this group! You all have helped me more than you could imagine, and I so appreciate the advice I received. Whenever I wanted to give up , or thought it was too hard to continue, you and my lactation consultant kept me going. Now I have a big, beautiful, intelligent fourteen-month-old who is still going strong! Thank you so much!

  395. Yay for Breastfeeding Month! I’m so lucky to know what it’s like to be a successful breastfeeding mother!

  396. What a great giveaway and a useful site! Will be bookmarking this for future reference! Thanks!

  397. What a phenomenal giveaway and fantastic way to celebrate WBW! As a someone who is still nursing an 18 month old and expecting another in november I can definitely put all of these goodies to good use.

  398. Cannot wait to start breastfeeding when my little one arrives 8/25/13! The Leaky boob has opened my eyes to so many things!

  399. Angelina M says

    If not for the support in my home and the support I sought out I wouldn’t still be breastfeeding today, 8 months later!

  400. This is awesome. I’m breastfeeding my son who is 21/2 months old. my in-laws didn’t support me w/bf but I stood alone and refuse to stop, hope to continue bf.

  401. Wow, this is amazing!

  402. What a wonderful giveaway you are doing! I am currently breastfeeding my third son who is 7 weeks old. My first 2 were also breastfed, although not as long as I would have liked. My first gave it up completely by 8 months, and my supply dwindled down to nothing despite trying everything to boost it by 9 months. I’m hoping that this time around we can make it to a year and beyond. These packaged will definitely help with that. Thanks for the chance to win them!

  403. Amanda Geel says

    This comes at an awesome time for me. I had a baby 3 months ago, I bought a really nice breast pump off of a friend who assured me that the pump had only been used a couple of times because she was given another one. So I spent the money on it believing her, 3 months later the hardly I am needing to go back to work and the breast pump is already dead, my insurance is State insurance so they don’t cover a new one and WIC will only provide a hand pump which won’t work for me with my work schedule. I want to continue to breastfeed my daughter but being without a job, and resources I cannot afford a breast pump so this would be an AMAZING thing to win.

    I think that there are a lot of moms out there that for some reason or another cannot breast feed or that won’t because they may be just seeing it as no point when returning back to work. A lot of woman cannot afford the very nice expensive breast pumps, and wasting money on a cheaper one just is that a waste…

    I hope that someone someday votes that ALL woman are given a FREE hospital grade breast pump no matter what their insurance is. I will continue to spread the word so maybe something gets done.

  404. I think an encouraging smile to a bf stranger, being there for a friend or family member who is bf, being honest about my own struggles…. all these things help 🙂

  405. This giveaway looks awesome…hope I win!

  406. Shakeeta W says

    Like the old phrase says “A little goes a long way”. This is so true when it comes to encouraging moms who breastfeed, especially in public. You never know if that mom has been struggling with BFing or if this is her very 1st time NIP. Just a couple of words of encouragement could completely change her mood and give her confidence in what she’s doing, giving her baby the absolute best start in life!

  407. I tried to bf with my first two and really had no good support except the nurse in the hospital looking at me like I wasn’t trying hard enough and that I was a failure for not getting it to work. The third time I had tremendous support through a wonderful mommies group I found and I BF my son for 16 months, I only stopped because I am now pregnant with my fourth and it got very uncomfortable. I look forward to making it work again.

  408. My best friend is expecting her second child this winter. She was not successful breastfeeding her first, but we are already talking about what she can do to be successful this time around and I have, of course, sent her to The Leaky Boob for support and advice. Can’t wait to help her this time around 😀

  409. twinkletoes says

    I cannot wait to have that bond with my baby when it arrives. I always gain a sense of peace thinking about my baby snuggled up to me, knowing that it is getting exactly what it needs from my body.

  410. Hope I win! What a great way to celebrate NBW!

  411. Fantastic giveaway!

  412. Rather than cringe at mothers nursing their babies, people should encourage them.

  413. The Leaky Boob has been an amazing resource for women, including me! Where else can you post about boobs, nipple irritations, bite marks on your breasts, lumps, cysts and infections and have it be common place easily accepted conversation?! I absolutely love the level of love support and dedication that Jessica and her helpers have committed and contributed to this page, keep it up ladies!

  414. Brandy Vallet says

    Remember to follow your instincts!

  415. I’d love to win a hospital grade pump. I go back to work next week and I’m not pumping well with the pump I bought. My insurance company didn’t cover breast pumps so I had to purchase my own. I couldn’t afford an expensive brand and my ability to pump has suffered because of it

  416. Looking forward to using the tips from this site in the near future for breast feeding! As a first time mom, it’s so essential to have this kind of information!

  417. Jessica M. says

    The Leaky Boob has helped me so much. It is so great to know that there are other moms like me out there and to see how supportive those other moms are.

  418. Danielle L says

    Breastfeeding is going so much better with my second little one. This is an awesome giveaway. Thank you for the opportunity!

  419. I love this giveaway!

  420. I check on this site and the FB wall daily while breastfeeding my little one. What a great site and fantastic contest!

  421. What an amazing giveaway for breast feeding moms!!

  422. I BF my first for 14 months and have just started the beautiful journey again with my precious 5 week old. Nothing is better than this time spent together!!

  423. I am currently nursing my two month old. My first. We went through some major difficulties in that she wasn’t gaining weight fast enough for Dr. approval. Without the support of lactation consultants and the encouragement from online sources, it would have been a much more difficult road.

  424. It would be awesome if I won, it would be an extra happy birthday surprise!

  425. Jennie C. says

    I love The Leaky B@@B! I like feeling I belong to this giant community of nursing women around the world!

  426. Jessica Boyko-Iriye says

    I have learned so much from the Leaky B@@b!

  427. Becca Jarrett Bundy says

    I’m nursing my third girl. It’s amazing how all three nursing experiences have been so different with different issues & struggles each their own. I hope I’m someone my friends can come to for conversations about nursing.

  428. So glad that my friend Misty told me about this. So awesome.

  429. Love the support given, we are on baby #4 I have nursed for 38 months total so far and still going strong, love the bonding time with my lo!

  430. Support is what has gotten me this far along my breast-feeding journey. I am a single mom and my daughter received a bottle in the hospital because the nurses thought they were helping me. Without websites like the leakyboob and LLL meetings I dont think my daughter would still be breastfed today.

  431. Shellie Givens says

    Lol at breastfeeding moms and smile or give a weird of encouragement

  432. Anne Perry says

    I have been nursing for 36 months. ..10 of thoes tandem. I nurse in public and am outspoken about the many benifits of nursing.

  433. Love these giveaways!

  434. I believe talking about breastfeeding as a normal occurrence or about our fears is really important.

  435. A good way to raise awareness is to just do it! Uncovered, covered, openly, privately – whatever works for you and baby. And don’t judge or make comments as another mother is feeding her baby in whatever way she feels she should.

  436. As a first time mommy and first time breastfeed the Leaky Boob has offered so much support and education. Breastfeeding was hard at first but this website and perseverance has gotten us to 20 weeks! My family had been supportive but warned that my mother had “supply issues” starting at three months and had to supplement. I wish she had you guys! No supply issue here!

  437. Gina Turner says

    Winning this would be such a blessing! TLB has been so helpful during my breastfeeding journey. My daughter is almost 4 months, and I hope she’s EBF for many more!

  438. Stephanie brooks says

    What a great giveaway! Fingers crossed!

  439. 9 months & no end in sight! I <3 TLB! So helpful, real, & inspiring!

  440. Elizabeth says

    Breastfeeding is one of the best bonding experiences ever. Lack of actual sport made me stop so soon with my first. With my newest, and last, we’re 4 months strong. Or goal of 6 months is almost here. to keep going for a full year.
    I am going to the Latch on Event in my hometown Saturday! I’m excited to be a part of this!

  441. This giveaway is amazing, I would love to win!

  442. I’m so grateful for the support found in this community!

  443. I’m so excited for this giveaway and can’t wait to breast feed baby #2!

  444. Wow!! Amazing giveaway for some dedicated milk mommies!! 🙂

  445. So excited about this giveaway!! Hoping more moms will learn how important breastfeeding is!

  446. Jessica K says

    Happy World Breastfeeding Week! I’m changing my FB profile photo to a picture of my son nursing and offering answers to any questions my FB friends may have about breastfeeding.

  447. Jacquline says

    I have been breastfeeding for almost 12 months now. My son will be a year in two weeks and we don’t plan on stopping any time soon! I think it is amazing that women (and men) everywhere are stepping up and spreading breastfeeding awareness and giving support. Every woman deserves to feed her child naturally and without judgment. I love “The Leaky Boob” as well as my own leaky boobs!

  448. Such an awesome giveay! Thanks to the hosts and sponsors!

  449. Would love to win this!

  450. Amazing products in this giveaway! I didn’t even know half of hem existed and now that I’ve been breastfeeding my daughter 14 months these would have been helpful awhile ago 😉

  451. Jade Garcia says

    Breast feeding is beautiful, natural, and so valuable to your childs health. Today it’s less judged and more supported then 9 years ago when I chose to nurse my first born. We as mothers can stand strong and support each other through our breastfeeding experiences. Every bit counts!

  452. As the first mom in a group of soon to be moms I try to breast feed openly around them to make it seem normal for them. I also give breast feeding accessories to new moms before the birth.

  453. I always stress to my single friends the importance of breastfeeding 🙂 planting that seed in their head for when they turn into mommies

  454. I’m pretty excited to be celebrating breastfeeding week for my 2nd year in a row (still nursing my 15mo old)! I thought BFing was SO isolating at first. Then I fell into a group of other nursing moms. I remember one day we were all picnicking in a park & all happened to be nursing our 6 babies, out in the open, at once. I thought, “Hey! If I’d seen more of this, I wouldn’t have felt so alone in the beginning!”. It was really a turning point for me.

  455. Great website, great information, awesome giveaway!

  456. Happy World Breastfeeding Week!

  457. I probably would have given up on breastfeeding if it wasn’t for all the advice & supply of the leaky Boob!! Thanks

  458. Sometimes just a smile is all that is needed to encourage a mother.

  459. Yvone Scott says

    I give props to mommas who breast feed! it takes dedication adn patience! There are many reasouses out there but the leakyboob is a great great resouce to answer all the questions you ahve.

  460. This would come in so handy, particularly the breast pump. I am expecting my 2nd child in October and we found out he has a cleft lip/palate, so my plan is to exclusively pump since he will be unable to latch.

  461. The more we normalize breastfeeding, the more it will become the norm. This will help women to not be afraid to nurse, to be educated on the subject, and to not be lured into “booby traps”. Knowledge is power! Successful breastfeeding will become common knowledge instead of the mythical thing it has become. I never thought I’d be a full term breastfeeder. Before my son was born I said I’d try my hardest but probably wouldn’t go past 6 months because “that’s just weird!”. Wow! I sure was wrong. Once he was born and our breastfeeding relationship started I was hooked. I fought hard to continue, and now my first little nurser will be 2 next week! I am pregnant, due with his little sister next month and we are still nursing strong. Though we’ve had our obstacles, neither of us is ready to give it up just yet. I love to congratulate and extend my breastfeeding support to the new moms in my life. I know how much my breastfeeding has meant to me and my son and I want other mommies to experience the same joy and pride I have.

    Btw, this giveaway ROCKS!! Happy Breastfeeding week!

  462. Roxanne Mason says

    Due in 22 days with my third and would love these great prizes!!

  463. Stephanie Olson says

    Yay for breastfeeding mommies!!! This is an amazing giveaway!!

  464. Jennifer S says

    I’ve been nursing DS for just over 2 years now. I try to make an effort to nurse in public whenever possible to encourage other women to continue nursing for as long as it suits their family’s needs.

  465. Rebecca Fletcher says

    Online support has been absolutely crucial to the success of my breastfeeding relationship with my babe. I don’t know what I’d do without the online community and support of all the breastfeeding mothers here. I’ve learned so much & am learning more every day through you lovely group of ladies. Happy Breastfeeding Month! Great giveaway!

  466. I would love to win 🙂

  467. Having one daughter that was breastfed and about to have another-I am grateful to think of how our culture is changing to make this more acceptable. I have found amazing support/resources and am happy to think how they will evolve to support my daughters with their future children 🙂 Although we have a way to go before then…

  468. Laura Luce says

    I love this! Anything we can do to promote breastfeeding in a difficult society for it is wonderful. Thank you for all you do for families.

  469. Currently nursing my second daughter for thirteen months and still going strong. I’ve been very lucky to be surrounded by supportive family and friends, and I have been mentoring my husband’s cousin who gave birth to her first baby exactly one month after her mom died. I think that support is the key to success when it comes to breastfeeding!

  470. I breastfed my oldest for 18 months till she weined herself. I expected to go at least 18 months with my now 2 month old too. The day she was born was beautiful, everything went perfect till.. she couldn’t latch. My midwife and I tried everything. Finally she took her aside and looked at her mouth. She was tongue and lip tied. We were finally able to get it taken care of on Monday. Since her birth I have been exclusivrly pumping for her. In a few days we will start teaching her how to nurse. I can’t wait for the moment she latches! Regardless of what happens my baby will have breastmilk for as long as I can give it to her. 🙂

  471. Heather @ It's Twinsanity! says

    A huge believer in breastfeeding support here- reaching new moms when they need help is critical to successful breastfeeding!

  472. I am super excited about this giveaway! I’m due August seventh with my third and last baby and winning this, either package, would be a dream come true! I’d be the best prepared mom ever!

  473. Jessica Harrold says

    I love all the breast feeding support that can be found on here!!

  474. Love The Leaky Boob, great info!!

  475. Thank you to The Leaky Boob for being a great support over the last 6 years of my breastfeeding journey. Thanks to the other organizations, too, for the awesome giveaway! I have big plans to gift most of the items if I’m a lucky winner.

  476. What a great giveaway!

  477. Posts on The Leaky Boob encouraged me that I could tandem feed my now 15 month old and 2 month old baby. I knew no one in person who had ever done this and everyone I knew thought it was expected of my to wean my first when I was due for a second. Glad I listened to the online support out there so I knew how common this situation actually was outside of my local environment!

  478. excited for the giveaway! Just started BFing child #2!

  479. Michelle L. says

    I am so thankful to have access to so many sites online to help answer questions about breastfeeding. They really helped me commit to breasfeeding my 6month old. And I have no plans to stop anytime soon. I try to do my part by breastfeeding whenever my daughter is hungry no matter where we may be. I really think seeing others out and about and openly breastfeeding will help other moms make the choice to to do as well.

  480. Stephanie says

    This is such an incredible giveaway! Without TLB, I don’t know if I would have been brave enough to attempt to EBF my second child, after my first absolutely refused to nurse – even with the help of a patient and wonderful LC who practically moved in with me for 3 months.

    So thank you Jessica for arming me with vital information and providing a lovely, supportive community, that made BFing my second son possible.

  481. Christina says

    Great giveaway, glad there is a national breastfeeding awareness week as so many people more education and awareness regarding breastfeeding

  482. Yay!!

  483. Bethany Adams says

    Without breastfeeding support groups, I never would have made it this far. 7 weeks and counting!

  484. I am a mom of 3 beautiful girls who were/are all breastfed. My youngest is 15 months. As a third time mom, with minor past breast feeding hurdles, I was not prepared for the set backs I went through with my now 15 month old. She would NOT nurse! I began pumping before I ever even left the hospital and fed her with a little cup. She even had to have donor milk due to low blood sugars. We came home, very next day I was at an appt. with an LC who recommended a shield. That helped, but did not solve all problems and was a PAIN!!!!! I was an emotional wreck and so was my starving baby. At this point I was strictly pumping(which is twice the work) and continually attempting with fail to put my LO directly to the breast. This went on for the first few months of her life. FINALLY, after many consultations, she was diagnosed with tongue/lip tie! She had both of those clipped and things got better, but not great. After all, she had fed with a bottle and terrible latch(when she nursed) for almost 3 months. With the support from fellow breast feeders, LC’s, pages like the LEAKY BOOB, and others I fed on and am still going at 15 months! Support is EVERYTHING in situations like these!!!! When most close to me were saying, “Just forget it, you’ve did all you can do!” I turned to these supporters for encouragement, strength, and a shoulder to cry on!!! And, they saved the day!!!!!!! My advice to any momma’s out there who are ready to just give up, DON’T DO IT!!!!! Reach out for help/support, that is why it’s there! You’ll be so glad you did. After all, BREAST is BEST!!!!!

  485. Happy breastfeeding week! My 10 mo old and I will be attending a Great Latch On event this weekend. I’m so excited!

  486. I love reading about the struggles & triumphs on your FB page. Has encouraged me to push through milk & soy intolerance to continue breastfeeding!

  487. Love giveaways, especially ones that help raise awareness! I fully support breastfeeding and have done it a combined 7 years!

  488. Samantha R says

    Awesome giveaway! Great advice and help.

  489. 🙂 awesome giveaway!!

  490. Elizabeth Costarakis says

    I think websites like yours (and others) offer so much support these days. In the middle of the night when baby is screaming and you are feeling your worst, chances are there is info online and/or someone online on a forum that can help.

    Thank you for all you do!

  491. Mary Vasquez says

    Awesome giveaway!! I hope I win!

  492. So excited about this giveaway! I have received so much support from these organizations!!

  493. This is the mother of all giveaways! Would love to win one of the packages!! I’m a proud breast feeding momma and so glad I can provide this experience and nutrition for my beautiful son!

  494. I’ve been breastfeeding my daughter for 13.5 months, and I don’t think we’re going to stop anytime soon. I’ve been pumping since I went back to work part-time a few weeks ago, but she hasn’t been drinking too much of it. I spent a LOT of time online at La Leche League in the beginning, because I was worried about everything, and it really helped me feel confident about how I was feeding her, her weight gain, the sleepless nights. The online communities are such a valuable resource for new moms who are freaking out in the middle of the night, who have no idea what they’re doing, and also for experienced moms who may be going through an entirely different experience than before.

  495. This is great! What a wonderful giveaway!

  496. Awesome giveaway!!

  497. Don’t judge others who are breastfeeding.

  498. nichole a. says

    I bf my son until he was 13 months and my daughter is 21 months with no signs of weaning. I was able to get through some rough moments with help and support from sites like tThe Leaky Boob! Thanks so much!

  499. I’m so thankful to live in a community where breastfeeding is very encouraged by medical professionals. One of the most helpful things for me with my first baby was having a public health nurse come to my house and check out how breastfeeding was going. She just said “you’re doing great, don’t give up!” I needed to hear that.

  500. What an awesome set of prizes!

  501. Oh, this is exciting!!!!!

  502. This is such a fun a giveaway!

  503. I love all of the information and support from the Leaky boob!

  504. I love the support and resources this site provides.

  505. Great giveaway! I am a first time mom with a two week old, and excited to be breastfeeding for the first time!

  506. Encouragement and information go a long way! Breastfeeding can be very difficult and confusing without support.

  507. Holly Jones says

    The best thing I think we can do for moms (especially new moms) is be open about breastfeeding! It’s still so taboo to so many, we need to encourage open dialogue so it’s no longer weird or abnormal. I still have friends that are so uneducated about the benefits of breastfeeding, so I try to encourage them and give them as much info as possible so they can make the decision to breastfeed their babies (or future babies) with confidence! A little bit of positive reassurance can go a long way for someone who is nervous about breastfeeding!

  508. I’m going to attend the Big Latch On event in my city to help normalize breastfeeding.

  509. I’m a first time mom who is breastfeeding my son. He’s 6 weeks now. My husband is deployed and our family is far away. We are new to the area so I have few close friends here. I thought it would be easy to just feed my baby but really it is exhausting. I love it and that is what keeps me going. But I feel like a human pacifier! Pumping is hard. I feel like I’m either feeding the baby or holding the baby so I try to pump while he eats on the other side. But that is tiring too. I feel like if at least my hubby where here it would be easier. Then he could feed our son a bottle once or twice a day. SUpport and encouragement are definitely keys to success! But above all them mom has to want to BF her baby.

  510. This is so exciting! World Breastfeeding Week is so important! The leaky Boob and several other sites have given so much support for Breastfeeding moms all over the world.

  511. Kelly Hoglan says

    Nursing bebe #2@ 21m and getting ready for #3 in dec. what a wonderful way to continue.

  512. I wish I had resources like this when I was trying to BF my DS – I was unsuccessful because I had no support. With my DS – I made it through to 11 months, but barely! Now I’m expecting baby #3 and I know I will have a much easier time with all of the great resources 🙂

  513. Jessica Hughes says

    I’m so thankful that I live in the age of the internet – any breastfeeding question I have can be answered by women the world over! I truly think this technological age has contributed to a rise in breastfeeding awareness and support.

  514. So exciting! Looking forward to all of my local activities!

  515. Amazing giveaway! It would be wonderful and so helpful financially to win something like this! I’ve been wishfully eyeing so many of these products for a long time now 🙂

  516. What a giveaway! A person could really spread the love among their breastfeeding friends by winning one of these. I have a few soon-to-be mommies I could share with!

  517. Regular mom and baby groups are a great way to gain and give support to new breastfeeding moms. I know it helped me a ton in the beginning and now I’m able to encourage other new moms.

  518. I love that breastfeeding is becoming more commonplace. I give advice whenever it’s asked of which is often since I am a birth and postpartum doula. I love helping mamas have a better experience!

  519. This giveaway is awesome! Thanks for supporting breast feeding in such a big way!

  520. noel lopez says

    amazing, i can’t wait to see who wins! i am so happy to have a breastfeeding week!!

  521. Nicola Nsubuga says

    I’m excited for this!

  522. Support for breastfeeding is so important, the more comfortable we are with breastfeeding, the longer we are willing to bf our babies giving them all of the immunity, comfort, nurishment,and love they need.

  523. What a great giveaway!

  524. I want to win!

  525. What a great giveway! Thank you!

  526. Thank you The Leaky Boob for providing evidence based research, support, wonderful information, and a safe environment for breastfeeding mamas!

  527. The leaky boob is such a great resource for nursing mothers. My little one and I had a rough start with breastfeeding but we stuck with it. Now almost 5 months in and going strong!

  528. Breastfeeding has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. With dedication and perseverance we can all achieve our breastfeeding goals! Stay strong and stick with it mamas 🙂

  529. Breastfeeding support sites like this one have helped a lot! So much good education and encouragement! We are on month 8 of breastfeeding and plan to let her wean. Don’t let anyone ever tell you that your milk isn’t good enough! One of the biggest lies out there! You can do it!!!!!!!!

  530. I am currently breastfeeding my third baby. We have made it 7 months so far. I did not continue breastfeeding my first two babies as long as I would have liked. I wish I would have known about sites like this and more people who were open about breastfeeding, I feel like it would have made a difference in my choices at that time. I am trying to make a difference in my own small way by breastfeeding in public and talking to anyone who has questions. I hope that because I am open about breastfeeding maybe someone else might be encouraged to continue breastfeeding when they may have given up.

  531. Stephanie-jean says
  532. Wow what joy and blessing this would be! My sister is ebf also so i would share some wins with her

  533. I’ve been saving for six months to try and replace the Ergo that LAX TSA personnel cut open at the security checkpoint while my back was turned nursing my baby. We’ve been using a ring sling but he’s almost outgrown it, and my three year old doesn’t like it either. I love baby wearing, just wish it were more affordable.

  534. I would love to win these things, I want to try an d go back to work, but we cant afford a pump and no one I personally know breastfeeds. Your site is so insightful and has some good advice. Keep up the hard work, its great!

  535. Breastfeeding support from a community of women was so important to my BF success. I appreciate the support from mommies from my local community and my on-line community.

  536. Robin Selvera says

    Loving the giveaway and love Leakyboob

  537. It makes it so much better to know you can get support from the Leaky Boob.

  538. One day, I shall win an amazing prize package like this… hoping it’s this time!!! 😉

  539. Jennifer Freer says

    I’m Excited to be part of breast-feeding week as a first-time mom and EBF! These giveaway packages are fabulous! If I were to win, I would keep some of the prizes, but would also share with the other moms in my lactation support group! I love my fellow mommies!

  540. Jessica C. says

    What a great giveaway–so many helpful items for nursing moms!

  541. This giveaway is so awesome. It’s so great to have some many breastfeeding resources to help all of us, especially those of us who breastfeeding might not of came so easy to in the beginning. So greatful for the Leaky boob

  542. Before I had my LO, I didn’t know much about breastfeeding or the support communities out there that celebrate this beautiful moment in so many women’s lives. I wouldn’t trade breastfeeding for the world. I love that I am able to not only feed my child, but also calm her, comfort her, and share my affection with her. Thank you to The Leaky B@@b and all the other wonderful communities online and everywhere who share support for breastfeeding mothers. There are times when each and every one of us needs support from a friend, and I know I can always find at least one (usually many) here.

  543. I was only able to breastfeed my daughter until she was 6 months old due to my milk drying up, but through better lactation consultants and better support I have been able to EBF my son who is now 11 months old. So, ladies if you have trouble with the first that doesn’t mean that you won’t be successful with future babies.

  544. Happy Breastfeeding Week, Leakies!

  545. Darcie Iles says

    I love seeing all the positivity around breastfeeding. I have had very little support, we had a rough start but we are still EBF! I hope women everywhere bf if its right for them without worrying about what others think or say. Thanks for all your hard work with getting the word and support out there!

  546. Kimberly Oney says

    I support breastfeeding by being active in the LLL, participating in events like the big latch on, being involved in WIC with applying for peer breastfeeding helper, helping run a group with ebf moms, I run a local breastfeeding Facebook page, etc. I am still currently breastfeeding my almost 1 year old, and I am a huge advocate of all things breastfeeding. I just want to help all moms give the best they can!

  547. Carolina Neiderhiser says

    I have been breastfeeding since September 2010, and currently on baby #2. It isn’t always easy. Most of my troubles have come from judgmental people. But I always remember that it’s my choice and I’m enjoying my time with my girls. While it can be difficult and painful in the beginning and adjusting to new babies, the bond you form is so amazingly worth it. Enjoy it while it lasts, for they grow up so fast.

  548. Jennifer Martir says

    Breastfeeding is not to be attempted by the lighthearted! It’s a commitment and time consuming. But rest in knowing that your baby needs you alone for comfort, food and security! What a blessing to sacrifice and be all these things for your child! Most rewarding thing… ever!

  549. Kristen Andrew says

    I don’t have a good answer. Just happy to be breastfeeding for once during WBW and that we passed 1 year. 🙂

  550. In the first few weeks, nursing is difficult, but our lactation consultant kept us going. Now nursing number two.

  551. chelisse oka says

    what a wonderful giveaway!

  552. This is amazing! What a great getaway.

  553. Having baby number two in September, this would make life so much easier!!!

  554. What an incredible giveaway package!! Breast feeding is the most wonderful (and sometimes challenging) time I get to spend with my daughter. Grateful for groups like this!

  555. I’ve depended on online support groups like the leakyboob during my entire breastfeeding journey so far. I am so excited to celebrate my first Annual Breastfeeding Week!

  556. I think sites like this are crucial for moms. Especially mothers who are not surrounded by other nursing moms or live in an uneducated community about how hard nursing can be.

    I’m almost three weeks into nursing my child and it’s substantially easier this round, but even then I want to quit from exhaustion. I’m so tired. But I know it’s worth it.

  557. What an amazing giveaway! I love the breastfeeding support I can find online these days. I wish I had been this aware with my first baby!!!

  558. I help raise awareness/encourage mothers to breastfeed through my blog & Facebook page, Keep Austin Nursing in Public, through legislative work, & through involvement in my local & state breastfeeding coalitions. It’s my calling!

  559. Love the leaky boob!!!

  560. It’s Christmas in August with all these AMAZING prizes!!!! Thank you!!!

  561. Breastfeeding for 6 months and counting!!

  562. The Leaky Boob definitely helped me in my decision to keep breastfeeding past 6 months. My baby girl is now 8 months and we’re going strong… I’m going to let her decide when she’s done!! It’s nice to know there are so many extended breastfeeders out there.

  563. Any encouraging words help or even just listening to bf related problems.

  564. Megan Martinez says

    This is a great giveaway!

  565. I had an amazing experience breast feeding my daughter. I try to share my story, it’s not hard for everybody. We are 9 months and still going

  566. Rachel Cicioni says

    I’ve never wanted to win a giveaway as much in my life. These are awesome! Happy World BF Week Mommas!!!

  567. Cortney Hasner says

    We have been breast feeding through 2 different no supportive pediatricians, countless year filled nights, lots of trips to two LCs and shear will power! 3 months and going pretty strong ebf! I am also a college student with a full time working husband an we both are Having to make some serious changes and sacrifices to be able to finish our degrees and take care of our family such as school in the evenings for me and a large enough break I can come home and nurse an him having to come home early so we don’t need a babysitter! We are working so hard and this giveaway would help us out so much!

  568. I love TLB. I was having issues with milk+baby sleep time and TLB users helped me. I was concerned that I wouldn’t make enough milk for my DS if I did not feed him during night time. One of the suggestions I got was to “dream feed” him. It actually works! I still dream feed him every night. Love you TLB.

  569. The Leaky Boob has already been a HUGE encouragement to me and my first little one isn’t set to arrive for a month! I know we can do this!!

  570. Becky Worthman says

    I didn’t have any experience with seeing breastfeeding women before my LO came, but I had decided it was best for the baby (and cheapest, and so…perfect) so was going along with it when I found so much support from friends and family I wasn’t expecting. I joined a support group, just to be with moms who thought as I did. I didn’t know it was revolutionary to feed my babe in public–she was hungry, so I fed her. But I got props for doing it. I think continued support and outreach, edcuation, etc is key. We’ve even ordered cards that say “thank you for breastfeeding in public” with the groups information–I can’t wait to get them and pass them out. <3

  571. Tiffany H. says

    I love helping friends when they have BFing questions or concerns. I’m no pro, but I love helping in any way I can. The Leaky B@@b is a great resource and I recommend to all my pregnant/nursing friends! When I BF my 3rd son (1st baby I BF), I really needed alot of help. I’m thankful I was able to go to my LC and ask questions on The Leaky B@@b FB page! BF rocks!!!!

  572. Sharing a struggle I had breastfeeding my twins but that I was able to has encouraged two of my friends that they could do the same with their twins

  573. I was not able to breast feed my oldies due to lack of education on the subject. But thanks to the support of friend, family and amazing groups like these, I am going strong with #2. I am only 2 mouths in but everyday is another small goal for me.

  574. Courtney Caylor says

    Fantastic giveaway!!!!!!

  575. Support is so important for breastfeeding mums! Without support a difficult task becomes much more difficult! Breastfeeding is so rewarding but it can be a lot of hard work too! I’m grateful to webpages like the LeakyBoob for giving support to all those breastfeeding moms out there just like me! 🙂

  576. Breastfeeding my second and I finally “get it” – I get why it’s important to support nursing in public, I get why telling a nursing mom to “just cover up” is difficult if not impossible for her to do, depending on whether the baby can nurse covered up, I get how isolating it is to leave a social situation to nurse in private, I get how gross it is to nurse in a bathroom, and I totally get why nursing in public isn’t a political or social statement……it’s just me feeding my baby!!!!!

    Happy world breastfeeding week to all of the awesome breastfeeding mamas!!!

  577. Jennifer Lavender says

    My greatest advocate and supporter of breastfeeding has always been my husband. I think it’s great to know that he has my back if we get comments while out in public. I wish more men were supportive of breastfeeding.

  578. Who else is loving the theme for this years WBW? I think it’s lovely, especially to highlight the importance of Breastfeeding Peer Counselors, what an awesome program. Way to go to all the babies being BF!

  579. talk about inspiration! The Leaky Boob prepared me for breastfeeding before my little guy was here and now at 6 months old, we are still going strong and I love getting TLB instagram and blog updates daily. Keeps me motivated and I just love how open she is – normalizing breastfeeding! <3 <3 Really hope I win this epic giveaway!

  580. I love the bond that BFing creates between baby and me!

  581. lindsey combs says

    I’m ebf twin boys- and they are thriving! It’s so wonderful to find such support!

  582. Raising awareness about breastfeeding is so important because this information is not passed down like it used to be. So many moms have lots of questions, and they need answers. Thanks for spreading the answers around!

  583. Thank you all for your ongoing support!

    Am so excited about the giveaway!

  585. This is such an amazing giveaway and I would absolutely love to win it! I was able to breastfeed my son for 15 months and I am hoping to make it to at least 18 months with our daughter! She is currently 10weeks old and nursing like a champ but I go back to work in 4 weeks and getting nervous about the change. I know my willpower is strong enough to keep going just like I did for our ds but I worry aboit how she will do. I won’t give up though and know I can do it! 🙂
    I would love to help other women with their breastfeeding journey bc its not easy and you need support! I am at least trying to do my part about spreading the word for Breastfeeding week and I will certainly be sharing this too! Even if I don’t win, i hope i do ;). … thank you so much donating so many wonderful things to he women giving the best thing they can to their babies! 🙂

  586. I will always support breastfeeding mothers. I know first hand how important support is and how much it means to me as a breastfeeding mother. I know breastfeeding is something I will do regardless of others opinions on it but having the support of my husband and a few others makes it easier. I will try to help nursing mothers any way I can , even if its just a smile across the room to another nursing mother.If I ever see a nursing mother harassed for simply feeding her baby I will give her support and kindly help her to educate the harasser on her rights and that breastfeeding her baby is natural and in no way wrong.

  587. I try to do my part for advocating by never being afraid to nurse my baby whenever they need it. The more people see it, the more normal it will become!

  588. Absolutely amazing! The blog is amazing, people are amazing and the giveaways are pretty sweet too : )

    Thank you Leaky Boob

  589. Rose Snocker says

    I love following the Leaky B@@B and will breastfeed all over Lincoln, NE during Breastfeeding Week. I usually do that anyway because I like to go out and about during the day and Daisy, my 4 month old, will eat anywhere!

  590. What an amazing giveaway!

  591. What a great way to start off world breastfeeding week. I’m really excited to read some good posts this week from various breastfeeding advocates.

  592. Claudia Simoneau says

    What an amazing giveaway from a generous bunch.
    Not only are you generously providing support and knowledge to
    Breastfeeding moms but also allowing the exchange of support from moms to moms!
    And that is priceless! Thank you!

  593. I wish I had this kind of support and information sooner! I am on my third breastfed child, and I am amazed at how things have changed, and how some things (people’s ideas on breastfeeding) haven’t. My oldest is 18, my youngest just 9 months old. Having my first as a teenager, I had enough attitude to not care about the public’s views – and yes, I did feed in public. With my second, I had to do more pumping than feeding, and gave up at 7 months. Now with my third, I am finally finding support outside of family, helpful hints and a better ability to do what’s best for my baby.

  594. I love reading and learning from the posts on Facebook. I’ve been EBFing my son (3.5 months) since the beginning.

  595. Lauren cimino jordon says

    2 healthy EBF babies who love the boob! My 4 mo old wont take a bottle, and
    My 2 yr old is obsessed with nursing her ‘babies’ bc she sees me nursing my baby!

  596. Thanks for the awesome giveaway. Just pregnant so no advice yet!

  597. What an incredible give away! I am currently nursing a 3 year old and pg with number 2! I am a mother I never imagined I would be constantly overcoming breastfeedingt challengers and judgment. We are proud of our nursing relationship and openly communicate out choices to friends and family as well as NIP. We are nervous and excited at the possibility of entering into a tandem nursing relationship and value this site and all bf sites for support.

  598. Holly Dittfurth says

    I am so happy to learn that there is a world breastfeeding week! I just wish the area where I live was participating and had something planned to celebrate it. Oh well, I am celebrating along with you ladies! And of course still nursing my LO, now a little over 7 months old. 🙂

  599. Hurray for breastfeeding support!

  600. I live in an area with lots of support for breastfeeding mothers. There is a “boob group” every day of the week, and several organizations. It has been so helpful for me and my two month old.

  601. This is an awesome give away! Yay!!!

  602. Thanks for the giveaway!!! 🙂

  603. This is my third baby girl and i love bf her. Im strongly going to be bf for 3 months. So far everything is going great. I just found this website and Im glad i did, very interesting.

  604. I’m 24 weeks today and I’ll be a breastfeeding, pumping and working outside the home mother. I’m so excited about the birth of my baby but winning this package would really put me over the moon! My income is our main source of money right now while my husband works as a CNA and goes back to school as a nurse. I always assumed I’d be a SAHM but that’s not possible–so I’m going to be the very best mom I can while also working!

  605. I’m exclusively breast feeding my 4 month old and never want to stop! Bfing with my first didn’t work out and I feel incredibly lucky to be having such a great experience with my second.

  606. Alissa Wilkes says

    Huge supporter of breastfeeding!! Even after DD weans, I’d like to pump so that I can donate my milk to mother’s who are unable to breastfeed.

  607. christina mcclure says

    support and information can make all the difference when it comes to a successful breastfeeding relationship. whether its from a lactation consultant (which is how I received support and valuable knowledge which kept me nursing for 18 months) or a friend, family member, husband, etc. I always try to be that support person for other moms I know.

  608. I really appreciated hearing about other mothers and their troubles to know that I wasn’t alone. Wish I had found it a little earlier.

  609. Priscilla Forsythe says

    What a wonderful giveaway!

  610. I breastfed my daughter until she self weaned at 21 months when I was around 10 weeks pregnant with my son! I’m now bfing my son. My husband has been a great support 🙂

  611. Fabulous giveaway, so excited!

  612. Love this site.

  613. I love this blog. It really picks me up when I get frustrated EBFing my LO

  614. thanks for offering all the advice and support.

  615. As a Childbirth Educator and Doula I try to get mama’s into breastfeeding before the baby comes! 🙂

  616. I love this website. It is so informative.

  617. EBF my son who is 10 weeks! Plan to do baby led weaning when he is ready.

  618. Thanks for all the support and information!!

  619. I want to win!!

  620. I think support is the most important thing that can be done to help spread breastfeeding rates.

  621. I love the Leaky Boob, it’s a wonderful resource and a great source of support. Love it!

  622. Woohoooo! Awesome giveaway!! Way to celebrate!

  623. I support awareness and (hopeful) spread encouragement by nursing in public, often without a cover. My daughter will be a year old next week (*sob*) and she is much too big and active to be covered up. But she still loves to nurse and I love to oblige.

  624. Breastfeeding 2 child now and loving it!! 🙂

  625. I have been providing breastmilk to my baby by exclusively pumping and receiving donations from other mothers. It has been a hard journey for us and I have greatly benefited from the online words of wisdom from others in similar situations.

  626. Thanks for such an amazing blog on breast feeding! I’m excited about the giveaway.

  627. Happy to have a new place for breastfeeding support!

  628. I love the leaky boob!

  629. I’m pregnant with my second child and due in September. This giveaway would come in handy…

  630. My daughter is 15 month and still going strong breastfeeding. I absolutely love and cherish the moments!

  631. Awesome giveaway! I am due with #2 in Oct and hoping to nurse longer than I did with #1 (6 months). I have set a goal of one year minimum and rely on The Leaky Boob for support and information. I know I will be referring to this blog heavily when #2 and I begin our journey. Winning a giveaway like this one would definitely help me achieve my breastfeeding goals also!

  632. Any of these would be great! We are planning to start on # 2 some time in the nearish future, and the Leaky Boob and affliates have been amazing getting me through with breastfeeding #1 so far! Thank you!

  633. I’m so looking forward to breastfeeding my new family member 🙂

  634. Awesome! It’s so great to support other women for something so important. It’s not that it’s “hard” to breastfeed, but it’s not that easy either!!

  635. Prisila Valenzuela says

    What an exciting giveaway! The best I’ve seen! I’m ebf my 4 month old and plan to as long as possible. I quit easily with my sons because of lack of support but not this time. I’m proud to be a nursing mama 🙂

  636. So excited for this giveaway! Thank you leaky boob for all of your help and advice.

  637. I grew up watching my mom breastfeed my younger siblings and watching my friends’ moms breastfeed as well, so breastfeeding was pretty well normalized for me as a child. The only time I saw bottle fed infants was when my parents did foster care. I did not, however, realize how much support is necessary for a successful breastfeeding relationship until I had my daughter and started breastfeeding. I was nervous about breastfeeding in public, my DD refused to latch if she had anything covering her, and my husband was not my best support because he was even less comfortable with me nursing in public (he had also bottle fed his older daughter when she was an infant, so he had a really hard time finding other ways to bond with our baby). I struggled through the first few months with a lot of online support before I finally met a group of local moms who provided me with in person support and have become very good friends. I am now passionate about providing moms with whatever support they need, and I know from experience how difficult it can be to ask for help…so I try to offer it as often as possible.

  638. This is a wonderful giveaway. My daughter is due with her 3rd child in November. Both her girls are under years. She started out breast feeding her first, but had to stop when her milk dried up due to getting pregnant again. she could not breast feed the 2nd one but wants to with the third. problem is she has no money for a pump and supplies. she just lost her job. I just went through a divorce so I am just as broke. winning this would mean so much to both of us. Thank you!

  639. When I had my first 2 kids I did not have the knowledge to breast feed long. With my current baby, I have learned so much. From 2009 when my 2nd was born to now there is so much more support and info readily available. I am so thankful for this, because I am now going strong at almost 8 months! My daughter has not had one bottle!

  640. Please Support all women who want to breast-feed, and encourage those who aren’t sure. I believe that it is one of the best things a mother can do for her baby. I cherish that special time holding my baby close and being able to provide for her needs on such a fundamental level. It is such a great way to have some quiet time, put your feet up and relax, not to mention the health benefits for both! Can’t complain about the extra cup size(s) either ;o)

  641. Breast feeding has been so amazing for me and my daughter. Because of TLB and TMM I will let my baby wean on her own. And stand strong when family says to wean at 1 year.

  642. Amazing giveaway! Way to go for all us BF mommies. It can sometimes be difficult but it is worth it. 🙂

  643. I’m so happy to have world breastfeeding week and people like you sharing it with all the world!

  644. Lety Murphy says

    Perfect timing for these prizes. I have approximately 4 weeks left. Plus I refer clients to your blog as you are a great resources!

  645. What an amazing giveaway!

  646. Looking forward to BFing my second son who was due on Monday!! Hoping this time will be easier than it was with my now 4yr old!! So excited I can’t wait!

  647. Amanda Santiago says

    These are some awesome giveaways. I never win anything and these would be a great first. BFing my 3rd child who is 2 1/2 weeks old.

  648. Sara Denley says

    Awesome give aways!!! Been EBFing for almost 9 mos and love it!!

  649. I breastfeed in public without shame! It is good there is so much support on the internet, because it was awfully hard for me in the beginning.

  650. Stephanie says

    This is so awesome! I would love to win, I haven’t had much good luck lately.

  651. I can’t tell you how much information I’ve gleaned from just lurking on the Leaky Boob facebook posts! So much great advice and support for breastfeeding mamas. As a new mom who EBF her daughter I very much appreciate it!

  652. Love all the support you give to nursing mothers! I always feel better reading your posts; knowing others are having the same love and frustrations of nursing that I have.

  653. Great giveaway! I love the breastfeeding love this week 🙂

  654. I would really love to be the winner of this. I am pregnant with my third and we exclusively BF the first two. All we had was one nursing bra, one udder cover and a boppy. Lol needless to say that poor bra was worn down to the point of extinction. Anything to make BF this third time around a little easier would be amazing! GL to everyone!

  655. Lottie Bowyer-Nottle says

    What an absolutely fabulous giveaway! I think that peer support needs to be promoted more.

  656. Michele T says

    Proud to be a lactivist!

  657. The leaky boob was pretty much my only support when I first started nursing!

  658. With my first I EBF while on a dairy/soy/beef/chocolate/tomato diet due to food intolerances my DD had. This time i’ll be working while EBF DD #2 the whole school year while on a similar diet (just in case 🙂 ). Students are always in my room after school for help and I’ll be nursing while I work with them. I’m nervous about what phonecalls I may get from parents, but very glad that I work at a very supportive High School!

  659. Danielle Stanley says

    World breastfeeding week is such a fab idea. I really hope it encourages those who are struggling or who haven’t had a chance to try yet to give it a go!

  660. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or for help. So many people helped me reach my goal and beyond that because I wasn’t afraid to say I needed help. I have extended that help to other mommies in hopes they will be as successful as they want to be.

  661. Thanks to wonderful websites like this, I not only found great resources/information, but was able to pass along to other (new) mom friends who needed encouragement and support. Breastfeeding shouldn’t be limited to raising awareness to one week or month, it should be everyday. Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

  662. What an amazing giveaway to celebrate breast feeding week!

  663. Leaky boob is awesome – informative, personal, uplifting and funny all rolled into one 🙂

  664. My babysitter has had a front row seat for my daughter’s first year. Since she is my second child, I’ve been much more relaxed and confident about breastfeeding. My babysitter is now expecting her first baby in a month and I’m sure all the things we’ve talked about and that she’s seen me do will help her as she plans to breastfeeding, too!

  665. I am due sept 1 and would love to win!!!

  666. Such an awesome giveaway! I <3 The Leaky B@@b!

  667. I’m proud to be breast feeding my second daughter! I’ve made recommendations and referrals to young new mothers in my sister’s resource program to spread the word and encourage!

  668. I’m so glad I found this site. I wasn’t able to breastfeed my 1st child and was very uneducated about breadfeeding in general. Now that baby #2 is coming, I’m really hoping to be able to breastfeed this one.

  669. I am new to The Leaky Boob and have been breastfeeding my 3 month old since day 1. Hoping to learn more “tricks of the trade” here and so glad there are so many great networks of breastfeeding moms supporting each other!

  670. The lactation specialist was so helpful to learn tips and tricks from proper latch to how to get baby to not lose the whole feeding. Stick with it! It’s one of the best things to give your baby! Also it lets you really bond with baby. So amazing that God gives our body everything it needs to jot only support life in the womb but also the exclusive food for 6 months!! Talk to someone and stick to it!!

  671. What an amazing giveaway! Love the Leaky Boob!

  672. Breasted 3 1/2yrs for my first and my 3mth old will nurse however long he wants. I am grateful for the community leakyboob has created so I don’t feel so alone doing this. 🙂

  673. Jennifer Pullen says

    Cool giveaway! I’ve nursed two kids, about to start again when our third is born. Glad this resource exists!

  674. Mary Payne says

    So many great packages! I was successful at breastfeeding my son until 14 months I cant wait for my little to get her to do the same.

  675. What amazing and helpful give away packages!!!

  676. I found your site as a new mom, when looking for a lactation cookie recipe. Best search I ever did. I love following you on facebook and appreciate the products and articles you have linked me with. I now feel like I am doing things “right” instead of constantly questioning myself.

  677. I think this is a wonderful idea! I’ve entered, here’s hoping I win! If I don’t I hope someone else who needs it will!

  678. what an awesome giveaway! happy world breastfeeding week!

  679. 12 months and still going strong! 🙂

  680. When I found out I was pregnant in 2010, I didn’t even know I was going to decide on breastfeeding until my husband encouraged me to research it. The I found The Leaky B@@b on FB and I was so encouraged by reading the difficulties other moms have had and how to fix them that I nursed my son until he was 17 months! I had to completely eliminate dairy, we had thrush several times, and I was well into my second pregnancy when I stopped. I am now at 7 months exclusively breastfeeding, planning to go at LEAST until 2 years, and loving the bond I have with my boys!! I have helped encourage several friends to nurse, and they in turn have encouraged some of theirs to breastfeed. Supporting each other is how we will change our culture in America!

  681. The Leaky Boob provided me with support that I was unaware I was in need of. My confidence with regards to breastfeeding in public has skyrocketed!! Thyanks!!

  682. I help to normalize breastfeeding my breastfeeding my babes in public and through my work with my company Ohana Wellness and even in my book Sage Parenting: Where Nature Meets Nurture.

  683. Karen Ngo says

    Human Milk 4 Human Babies was integral for getting donor milk the first 3 months for babe until my milk supply fully established. Thank you mamas & milk siblings for sharing with my Kieran!!

  684. I will be breastfeeding again for the first time in 17 years, looking forward to lots of support and info from my online friends – something that wasn’t around back then!

  685. Deborah Shea says

    Great giveaway, how amazing it would be to win! I have EBF both of my girls now 5 and almost 3 until14 and 15 months. i stopped due to lack of production and baby stopping in their own due to this. I am 23 weeks pregnant with baby girl #3 and look forward to EBF for her. It is one of my favorite parts of being a mother. It is a gift I can give them, and the bonding and cuddles are a bonus too 🙂

  686. Breastfeeding right now!

  687. Valli Brauer says

    Breastfeeding is far from easy and support is so very important for it to be successful! It’s great that The Leaky Boob is a place that we can come to to find that support.

  688. This site is very motivating. I hope that I last longer breastfeeding this time than with my first. I think with the help and support of this page I will.

  689. After three kids, I was finally able to breastfeed! It was such a long journey to learn how to do it right (and a painful one at that!), but with the help of LLL, The Leaky B@@b and teh Boob Group, I am happy to say we are 4 months and going! I would love to win one of these packs; everything would be useful to us! I just recently started NIP, and my little bug loves loves loves to be worn all the time!

  690. I love the Leaky Boob. After three failed attempts, I am finally able to EBF my 4th child. It is amazing, and I do not want it to end. I never really realized what I was missing, and only wish I hdd fought harder with my girls. Thank you for this page, it is great to have a sounding board for question, as well as to be able to help other moms as well.

  691. Excited about the giveaway! All moms deserve some luck because we all are hard working whether we are a stay at home home or not.

  692. Thanks for the opportunity!

  693. What an awesome give away!

  694. Stacy Melton says

    Awesome Giveaway!

  695. BFing for a year+ and no plans to stop any time soon!

  696. I love breastfeeding!!! Not only do I know I’m giving my baby the best possible thing for him, it sets forth the most beautiful bond between a mother and a child. I personally know how hard breastfeeding can be, but once you get past the first few weeks of hurdles it means so much more.

  697. All moms need encouragement on the subject of breastfeeding. Bfing can be overwhelming, especially for first time mothers. Im currently encouraging my neighbor, that just because she didnt produce milk with her first child doesnt mean it will be the same situation with her second. And she shouldnt be discouraged or get the idea in her head that something is wrong with her. Love to those BFing mommas, those who try, and those who are unable to <3

  698. I’ve been bfing for 10 months, and it was a struggle! Happy to say that I stuck with it and its been amazing!! Having one person to help you through it and encourage you really makes a difference!! Happy world breastfeeding week!!

  699. This is such a wonderful resource for new mamas and moms to be! I am so excited to EBF my next LO as it went so well the first time. Without resources like this and helpful mamas in my life, I never would have had the support I needed to BF…what a wonderful experience it has been so far!

  700. These comments are so inspiring. Glad to be a new member of the nursing moms club!

  701. Jennifer n says

    I’m a mother of 5, with igt, whose done everything I can to give my babies the best. I’m always looking for more ways to better my breast feeding relationship and increase supply. Thank you for all you do!

  702. I would so love to win this giveaway. i am a first time teen mom and i plan on STRICTLY breastfeeding
    my son when he arrives! i’m due this month on the 20th and he might come sooner since i’m 50% effaced.. i really need something like this to help me with my breastfeeding!

  703. Happy breastfeeding week!!

  704. Rebecca Peters says

    I learned that breastfeeding is way better for your baby and naturally, we all want the best for our baby. There has been so much support helping you to do that, everyone wants the best for your baby as well and cares! Just when you think you are going to quit, you get TONS of advice and help! You arent alone. 🙂

  705. I love all this support! It’s nice to see we’re never alone!

  706. im so glad this support system is here. amazing and i can’t wait to be helping other breastfeeding moms.

  707. I think breastfeeding is great, even though I haven’t done it yet. Hoping to have the chance very soon! I’m glad there are sites such as The Leaky Boob to help provide support and answer questions for breastfeeding mamas!

  708. I’m so excited about these awesome prizes!! I’m so grateful to all of the BF groups and blogs that have been created to help all of us succeed! I know I’ve had lots and lots of questions answered and I love the support that everyone shows. Going 10 weeks strong now as EBF AND pumping. We’ve faced a lot of challenges so far, but we’ve overcome them all and our DD is growing big and strong. 🙂

  709. My local wic office saved me from quitting due to mastitis that lasted the first four weeks.

  710. I am so happy to have more places to find information about breastfeeding. Didn’t’ work with my son due to NICU not supporting it hopefully it will work with my next child just fine.

  711. This page has been a comfort, encouragement, and help!! Thanks “TheLeakyB@@b for all your hard work and dedication!

  712. Charlotte says

    As a soon to be mother for the first time, and the first woman in my family in 3 generations to breastfeed, I am very thankful for support from groups like this!

  713. As a first time mom, I’ve been finding keeping up with my munchkin’s eating hard, but it’s worth it to see all those little rolls on her arms and legs. And very satisfying to be told in her 27 days of life, she’s gained 2 lbs all from breastmilk!

  714. erica reed says

    what a wonderful prize packages!

  715. What a great giveaway! Good luck mommas!

  716. I share everything I know about breastfeeding to my pregnant friends and family members. The other day my husband was at the store getting me fenugreek and he met a woman who was having trouble producing, he ran out to the car and got me and I was able to help her, it felt amazing!

  717. Thanks for a great giveaway!

  718. These prizes are amazing! Thanks for the chance to win.

  719. I nursed my son for 15 months, and it was a great experience. I’m due with #2 in two weeks and looking forward to doing it all over again!

  720. This is so great! I’m happy to be a part of National Breastfeeding Week!

  721. Jessie Crosby says

    About to have my third baby and starting off my career as a doula this would be enormously helpful!

  722. Such an amazing cause! Love it spread the word! Latch on guys

  723. Thanks for the giveaway!

  724. I’m too excited about this giveaway and I’m also excited to be celebrating WBW 😉

  725. I would not have been able to successfully breastfeeding my baby without all the love and support I received along the way.

  726. Have used some of these websites for info and they are great!

  727. Lisa Sims says

    First of all, thank you for such an opportunity as this. There is nothing bad to say about Breastfeeding…it is healthy for both you & child! What a gift, for God to give women. The bonding is one of the best parts, also knowing that your child gets the nourishment they need, right from you. Do not feel ashamed to breastfeed you child, no matter the age. There is a benefit always!

  728. Cecelia McGregor says

    Awesome!

  729. When my first baby was born 4 years ago, none of my friends had babies yet. I KNEW I wanted to breastfeed and it was a challenge. Two years later, when the next baby in our group was born, I did everything I could to help her nurse (an undiagnosed birth defect made it impossible but she got some mama milk for the first month). Six babies later and every one of them has gotten at least some breastmilk–three of them have never had formula! My friends know I will answer any question they have and if I can’t–I’ll FIND the answer. I love The Leaky Boob and it’s partners because it makes finding those answers so much easier.

  730. I’m going to be a first time mom in September! I am getting so much support from friends who have had a wonderful time breastfeeding and even from some who had many challenges. I’m going in with a positive mind, lots of knowledge, and the nearest Lactation Consultants phone number!! I can’t wait 🙂
    Great Giveaway!!!

  731. I’ve gotten a lot of support from friends and lactation consultants on social media. I like to repay the favor buy attending breastfeeding chats and encouraging other moms.

  732. Really love all the help that is on this blog.

  733. Julie Jensen says

    Happy Worldwide Breastfeeding Week! This Saturday I will be the announcer at the Northern Nevada Breastfeeding Coalition’s 3rd annual Liquid Gold 5K run/walk to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week and I will be participating in the Big Latch On! I love the support that the Leaky Boob offers and I plan on attending the MommyCon PDX and I can’t wait!!

  734. Whata fabulous competition. Good luck everybody!

  735. I feel like telling people you are breastfeeding is great is raising awareness. Also not being afraid to nurse in public can bring awareness whether you chose to cover or not!

  736. Breastfeeding support is vital, every new mum should be told where to get help if needed

  737. I support BF awareness by sharing my BF adventures with others and letting them know that while it hasn’t been easy, it’s definitely been rewarding knowing that I’m providing the best possible nutrition for my little man, who was born at 35 weeks and weighed only three pounds. He spent a month in the NICU, during which I exclusively pumped before the nurses would even let me try him at the breast. We were finally able to succeed with the aid of a shield and are still going at three months, working out feeding and pumping when I had to return to work long before I wanted to.

  738. Nicole M. says

    The way I support breastfeeding and create awareness is by simply breastfeeding my own daughter. I think the more that it is seen by other mothers and soon to be mothers the more likely they are going to be to actually breastfeed their own children. Also seeing other moms who are not only feeding their newborns or young babies but their toddlers as well can help encourage moms to continue with breastfeeding for longer.

  739. The best way to encourage othrrs to b-feed is to talk about, post, etc one’s own breastfeeding experience. NotIn a judgey or bragging way, but an honest, upfront representation of whst it’s really like, the challenges, solutions, & triumphs.

  740. Awesome Contest!

  741. This giveaway is so cool!

  742. Breastfeeding support pages have helped me tremendously..I have 4 children thus far my 4th is the only one I chose to BF due to different negative things stated about breastfeeding….Have BF her for 1 yr so far(will continue till she self weans). I could royally kick myself for not breastfeeding the other 3 because all the negative I had been told and learned to associate with breastfeeding was way off base and mostly wrong. It has been such a great experience. And the mountains of support and encouragement I have gained from being on multiple breastfeeding support pages has helped me so much..They have given me courage to know that regardless of what anyone thinks or says breastfeeding my child is one of the most natural things. And despite the stares snickers and whispers while nursing my babygirl….I continue to NIP whether or not I have a cover handy or not…and have learned that what others think doesn’t matter. What does is the fact that I am nourishing my child with the best nutrition. These support pages have also helped me to stand up for breastfeeding openly and to stand up for a mother’s right to feed her child in public without shame. I want to thank The Leaky Boob for being with me during this journey and being a place of support that I could look to and learn from..and for just continuing to be here…

  743. we definitely need as much support as possible for breastfeeding moms and that we shouldn’t be ashamed or embarrassed for feeding our children the healthiest possible way

  744. My son and I made the one year mark a few weeks ago and still going strong. I wouldn’t ever give up the special bf relationship we have. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  745. christy i says

    I breastfeed in public without a cover. I hope one day breastfeeding won’t even cause people to bat an eye.

  746. The moms group I’m a part of supports each other and helps normalize breastfeeding by nursing our littles wherever we are. Whenever I see another nursing mama in public, I always give a smile or encouraging word as well.

  747. Education and awareness helps moms who are consider breastfeeding learn the benefits, boobytraps, and where to go for help.

  748. Samantha Murray says

    Really great giveaway! The person who wins will be one lucky mama. The item donated can help make breastfeeding fun, even when it can be difficult and demanding. Thank you The Leaky Boob!

  749. Support goes such a long way! Even a simple “great job, you’re doing awesome!” Breastfeeding mothers need all the help we can give them. 🙂

  750. Marianne Adler says

    Support was so crucial to our successful breastfeeding! From rolemodels to help getting started to my husband’s amazing verbal and nonverbal support all around.
    Amazing giveaway! So exciting!

  751. Jennifer Meyer says

    I love this site !!

  752. I have to admit that I knew when I had my first daughter almost four years ago, I knew that I wanted to bf even though I was not sure if I would get support – what I did not know is that my mom tried to bf and was ashamed she was not able to. For me now with my second daughter who is still ebf I must admit that my mom is so amazed and proud of my decision and we are even closer!

  753. Amazing giveaway(s)! I wish we could all win 🙂 I was fortunate to live nearby the Baby Garten and my husband discovered the BF support group that meets on Wednesdays, which led me to Robin (fab lactation consultant with SDBFC), mamas to talk to and hang with, and subsequently all these great online resources. Looking back, my BF journey so far, has been pretty smooth. It was so helpful to not feel alone! Reach out to BF mamas when you can!

  754. Christina says

    Found this site while searching the web. I am excited to be breastfeeding my daughter and find it amazing that virtual strangers supply so ,much support!

  755. Breast feeding your child is such a great choice. There are great resources for new and experienced moms at the leaky boob. I think it’s an amazing gift to be able to breast feed your child!

  756. Wow, what a great giveaway! One of the best ways to support nursing mamas is through contact (whether in person or online) with other nursing mamas. The Leaky B@@b has been a great source of information for me in my journey through breastfeeding! Live on Leaky B@@b!

  757. Allison K. says

    I received a lot of support from family and friends (and my employer, too!) during my breast feeding journey. I love to return the favor by encouraging new moms and being there for them when they have questions or simply need to hear that they’re doing a great job.

  758. So grateful for all the breastfeeding support out there. I’m 3 weeks in with my little guy but couldn’t so it without these great resources! Yay for international Breastfeeding Week!

  759. Danijela Fussell says

    9 1/2 months so far and hopefully many more despite how uncomfortable my husband or his family might be after our son turns 1.

  760. Elizabeth says

    I am looking forward to another rewarding breastfeeding experience in January!

  761. Maelyn Belmondo says

    So excited about this giveaway! What a great way to celebrate national breastfeeding week!

  762. Breastfeeding has been a tough road so far but I love it and I love the bond it has created with me and my son. Thank you so much for your support!

  763. danielle bromberg says

    its not so easy to find support where almost everyone i know didn’t even attempt to breastfeed, it was a decision i made on my own, and reading stories on the leaky boob facebook page definitely helps! wouldn’t change my decision to breastfeed, and i hope to continue breastfeeding my 5 month old for a while longer

  764. Carly Brown says

    I would not have made it through a year of breast feeding my daughter without the support of my husband, local breast feeding center or online informational groups.

  765. What a wonderful giveaway!

  766. I raise awareness for breastfeeding just by being open about our breastfeeding experience…(never hiding the fact that my son breastfed until 3.5 years), and always offering advice and support on the topic to anyone who asks!

  767. I am so grateful for all the help I’ve gotten from friends, family and sites like these! Look forward to being able to share that with others 😉

  768. Breastfeeding my son was not only the best thing I could do for him, but it helped me heal emotionally from a traumatic birth. It was healing to know my body worked at least in some way it was supposed to.

  769. Denise Browning says

    I just can’t put into words how much this giveaway would mean to me and my family. Praying for a win!

  770. Had a rough first few weeks, but now Lo is 16 months and still bf! Thanks for doing this, this is awesome!!

  771. Woohooooo!!

  772. Stacie Daley says

    So excited!=)

  773. Proud to have breastfed my first little one for over 2 years (26 months)! It was a very challenging journey at first, but my doula really helped me get through it! Definitely find someone you can be accountable to and who will push you beyond what you think you can do! It’s totally worth it. Best thing I ever did.

  774. Brittney Youmans says

    I wish I had found a breastfeeding support page when I was trying to BF my preemie son (our first child), he was so weak, it was hard for him to latch. I found support from my MIL, husband’s family, my family, and friends, but to be able to go to a page and just ask questions about nursing a preemie would have been so helpful, because none of those people I listed knew what it was like to nurse a preemie. Or, when my youngest son couldn’t latch and wasn’t gaining weight, and we found out that he was tongue tied, and then, as soon as that was cleared up, we got thrush, it was one obstacle after another! I love what is being done here, and I plan to come back in a couple weeks when my third child is born, because even thought I EBFed my two sons, I know I’ll have questions again.

  775. This is beyond amazing!

    Breastfeeding is a labor of love, a sacrifice, and a choice to give your child the best.

  776. This giveaway is amazing! I’m so excited for it 🙂

  777. FTM to 3.5mo baby girl, nursing from day one and going strong. Pages like these helped immensely to get through the first tough weeks while we both figured out what we were doing!

  778. I never thought we would make it as far as we have so far…5 months ago we didn’t know what the heck we were doing! Wrong latch, damaged nipples, mastitis, thrush…we have gone through a lot but with the support of LLL and The Leaky B@@b, my little guy and I are nursing on with no immediate end in sight! I now get to help encourage and support other new moms and babes on what is the most delightful and fulfilling experience I have ever had the joy of being a part of.

  779. Tricia Y. says

    OMGoodness….these are seriously the most exciting prize packages I’ve seen!!!

  780. Tricia Y. says

    I support and encourage BFing by doing it myself- in public wherever I am. Also I’m a CLC and it is my job to encourage and support families to breastfeed. 🙂

  781. Breastfeeding my son has been such a challenging but amazingly rewarding experience!

  782. Saying “be supportive” to family/spouses is all well and good, but more information is helpful. Bring the baby to mom, bring a possibly a snack and definitely a drink while feeding, change diapers and care for the home so mom can relax, encourage her when it’s hard, never say anything negative about BF to others and preferably to her, be her biggest champion when others ask questions or criticize, watch for postpartum depression and report to dr if necessary, make sure she gets appropriate help from an LC when needed.

  783. I am so excited to see your page and so many others promoting and raising awareness for World Breastfeeding Week. Any step we can take toward normalizing breastfeeding and supporting moms is fantastic!

  784. Karen Mangono says

    Awesome! Been breast feeding for 11 months! I’ve exceeded my own expectations and am so happy 🙂 Woukd be great to win.

  785. What an awesome giveaway! My daughter is 25 months and loves to nurse!

  786. I don’t think I would have been able to nurse as long as I have if it weren’t for the moms who donated their milk to help us. I am so thankful to be breastfeeding at all. Thank you for this giveaway!

  787. Such an exciting giveaway! Nursing in front of others and being comfortable discussing Breastfeeding helps to normalize it!

  788. Molly Riffel says

    Love this giveaway!!

  789. Amanda Jepson says

    Sharing knowledge and information between mothers is so important. These kinds of giveaways are such a great idea. If I was to win, I know I’d be sharing with a group of moms I know! 🙂

  790. Britni Bradford says

    I think to show support, you talk about it, you do it, you applaud your friends for doing it. Positive reinforcement, just like we use on our kids =P

  791. This giveaway looks amazing!

  792. Breastfeeding support is tremendously important to a successful breastfeeding relationship. Without it, it’s easy to give up when it gets hard. With the right support, you can battle anything… and win!

  793. Breastfeeding topic: how to keep your nursling nursing through your entire pregnancy. Both my first and second children ‘gave up’ during the second trimester of my subsequent pregnancy.

  794. I’m very excited to have the opportunity to enter this giveaway 🙂 I’m a breasstfeeding mother of 16 months, and I plan to allow him to self wean, and I plan to nurse any future children I may have. I always try to offere breas12tfeeding support when I can. I attend a breastfeeding support group at my local hospital weekly and I have even donated my expressed breastmilk to help sick and or premature babies. I am about to host a Big Latch On event in my area tomorrow as a part of world breastfeeding week! Wish me luck 🙂

  795. What an amazing giveaway. Thank you! We’re expecting #3 any day now, and I’m still learning new things about breastfeeding. Love the work you do for Moms!

  796. The Leaky Boob and other breastfeeding support blogs got me through the first few weeks of nursing my now 5 month old. She loves boob and I love feeding her and I don’t think we’d be here today without the support of other moms. So thank you 🙂

  797. Nikki Norvell says

    I smile at mamas who i see nursing their little ones and i nurse my toddler wherever, whenever.

  798. Becky Ortega says

    What an amazing generous giveaway! Good luck to all us milky mamas it’s been a beautiful rewarding journey!

  799. Al you need is to make eye contact and smile at a nursing mom. That says I support you like nothing else!

  800. Hello All,

    From the start I am super excited about breast feeding. I exclusively breast feed my six and a half month old son. Lets celebrate this week!

  801. Nurse in public, open a door for a mother or her child, or help a child pick up a dropped toy. Be kind, it makes a difference to everyone your kindness touches.

  802. Tracy Mullins says

    I love breastfeeding week. With the leaky boob great advice I went 18 months breastfeeding my DD. thanks or all the support fellow leakys!!

  803. How cool would it be to win this amazing giveaway!?

  804. I think sharing knowledge and experiences, good and bad is the biggest ‘help’ we can offer mothers who want to nurse. I’m a lot more relaxed with baby number two, and nursing has been easier this go around. This time I care a lot less about what other people think, and just do what is best for my child and I and not let naysayers bother me 🙂

  805. I breastfed my daughter until she was 2.5 until the 7th month of my pregnancy with my son. I remember when she was near the end of her nursing period, her asking to nurse while I was dressing in the locker room at the pool and a nearby woman gasping “you can do that while you are pregnant?” Turns out she was about to wean her 8 month old in order to become pregnant with #2. I still see her from time to time and she ended up nursing her son 6 more months! 4 of those during her second pregnancy. That is why breastfeeding in public increases breastfeeding duration and opens up the opportunity for conversation!

  806. Baby #2 is due in December! This giveaway would be a big help. I breastfed baby #1 until she was 2 and a half, when I got pregnant again. 🙂

  807. 6.5 years straight breastfeeding this month!

  808. I support awareness of BF and encourage other moms by nursing my toddler in public.

  809. So far I have 10 children and 20 years of breastfeeding (2 years each) my youngest is 10 months and still nursing. It is worth it! If I win it will be the first time that I have won anything that I really needed.

  810. Jessica Robertson says

    It is groups like this that offer so much support! Many of us have nowhere to turn for help. Thank you for being there!

  811. Amanda Griffiths says

    If it weren’t for pages like this I wonder if my mom-in-law would have finally pressured me to stop nursing.
    Thanks for being awesome!

  812. What an awesome giveaway, thanks so much for hosting this!

  813. A local breastfeeding group came to my rescue right when I was about to give up. Groups like these are vital to our success!

  814. awesome giveaway in honor of breastfeeding awareness! Latch on Mamas!

  815. What a fabulous giveaway! Thank you for all you do to help normalize breastfeeding and help mom’s out!

  816. What a wonderful blog!!! Hope I win! I love BREAST-FEEDING!!!

  817. vallinnapod says

    Fab giveaway!

  818. What a great giveaway. This site is so helpful for learning about bf products which are so hard to find in stores.

  819. There were a few times early on in my breastfeeding journey when I really did want to quit. I had the greatest support from my husband and while everyone around me gave up breastfeeding after just a few short weeks, my husband helped me make it through my struggles. We are now going on two years of nursing and I’m looking forward to nursing him until he’s ready to quit. I cannot wait to nurse a new little bundle of joy as well. My hope is that any new mother having problems with breastfeeding is to talk about it. Whoever the person is in your life that you always vent to, just talk about the problems you’re having. Seek a lactation consultant’s help if you’re struggling. There is no shame in getting a little help, everyone needs help now and again. <3

  820. with so many more mom’s deciding to nurse over formula and bottles it’s extremely important to give them the support and encouragement to help them succeed. many of my friends come to me for help even though I only have one nursling bc they say I’m so open about it. a friend of mine asked for help and advice yesterday bc she felt bad that she was supplementing with formula while she was at work and bc she didn’t feel relaxed when she was nursing at home. after about an hour of advice, tips, websites, and a referral to alc she said the party that put her at ease was the fact that I till her I had to supplement as well in the beginning. it was the lifting of the guilt that helped her as well as the other advice. Every mom deserves our support and love.

  821. My sister and I started a breastfeeding support group on Facebook. It was originally supposed to be local, as I have offered to help out IRL if necessary (I’m a CLC); however, other not so local Facebook friends asked to join. Whenever we find something supportive, informative, etc. we share it with the group. We also offer advice, support, encouragement, etc. whenever someone is having trouble.

  822. I am a HUGE supporter of breastfeeding, in fact when I see that one of my friends is pregnant, I talk to them right away about breastfeeding. I think that sites like your’s is an awesome resource for new moms, and I refer moms here all the time. 😀

  823. Jessica O says

    I work full time and am still breastfeeding my 21 month old daughter. It has not always been easy but we have stuck with it and having a supporting hubby helps tons too!

  824. Grace White says

    Great prizes! I love breastfeeding my boys its been such a rewarding experience despite all the difficulties!

  825. Elizabeth says

    Happy World Breastfeeding week!! I love the Leaky Boob and really would love these prizes as I continue in my Breastfeeding journey. Thanks for all the support!

  826. Elizabeth Smalley says

    Great giveaway! So blessed to be able to nurse my first almost 11 months now 🙂

  827. It would be so awesome to win this giveaway!

  828. Holy cow, what an awesome giveaway! I’m excited to be part of WBW this year with my 1-year old 🙂 I’ve had a ton of support from mamas and a stellar IBCLC at my birth center, and it’s made all the difference between BFing being a “have-to” or “want-to” activity I do for my son.

  829. sherry moore says

    I only have one friend who currently breastfeeds I support my friends decisions even if they don’t. I do read a lot of breastfeeding articles and pass them on for friends to read.

  830. I spread the word about our local La Leche League meetings to anyone I think could possibly be interested. LLL has been a huge resource in our breastfeeding journey, and I want for other moms to have the support I’ve been so lucky to receive.

  831. Kati Salgado says

    ABSOLUTELY LOVE breastfeeding my baby girl! Other than my sister in law I’m the only one in my immediate family and circle of friends that is breastfeeding!! Without the articles I read, the support of my husband, and the support of an amazing lactation consultant I don’t think I’d still be doing it today! My daughter didn’t get to come home right away, so when she finally came home transitioning from bottled breast milk to actually latching on was a challenge for both of us, but to all the kind words and support we stuck it out!! 🙂 I am now an advocate for breastfeeding and have my best friend, 7 months pregnant, on board and ready to give it a shot with her first baby also!! I look forward to sharing this giveaway with her and crossing our fingers to hopefully win something!!

  832. Hayley Jung says

    This is such an awesome giveaway!

  833. Nursing my silly 12 month old upside down! Oh the joys of gymnurstics!

    • Upside down is impressive! I’m struggling with side lying! My first baby and I’m trying so hard to learn new positions! Hats off to you momma! Ps… I love the term gymnurstics! So funny!

  834. I raise awareness and support for Breastfeeding by:

    -never keeping quiet about my right to feed my baby when needed
    -never apologizing or feeling ashamed for nursing
    -being an active member of my local LLL, giving support to those around me

  835. Still breast feeding my almost 11 month old because of support and encouragement from TLB!

  836. WOW!!! These are AMAZING prizes!!! Im still nursing my 18 month old, and one of my dearest friends is due with her first baby in September. We are total breastfeeding gurus!!

  837. I breastfed my 2nd child because I want able to breastfeed my 1st. I wanted to give them both the best. breastfeeding is so important in your growing baby’s life. I encourage it ask the way!

  838. Emily deVeer says

    I have EBF my daughter for 8 months and I am in school to become an IBCLC! I have helped two of my friends nurse their newborn babies and am proud to say one is still going strong at 5 months and the other is still going strong and pumping at 3 months. I love to see moms and babies NIP because it brings normalcy. I have educated my step-sons and they have in turn taught kids at their school about breastfeeding. It is a normal, everyday thing with my family. I have even changed my moms opinion on term breastfeeding. My husband has been my biggest supporter and has stood up for me against strangers with loud opinions many times. I am proud to breastfeed and proud to have the courage to do it in public. I hope to share that feeling with many other moms when I finish school and change careers.

  839. I never would have succeeded at breastfeeding without wonderful online support (breastfeeding.livejournal.com and kellymom). What a fantastic giveaway, so many companies supporting breastfeeding!

  840. This day in age, it’s so important to support nursing mamas, due to the gobs of misinformation that is spread. I relied on family to help support me w/my first baby. And after being unsuccessful with nursing her long, I researched online and discovered the “advice” I was listening to was more like booby traps. Support from pages like the Leaky Boob can make a world of difference to a new mom seeking support. 🙂

  841. Joanne Livingston says

    I’ve been blessed to have the support of friends and family as I’ve breastfed my 21 month old since the beginning. I plan on continuing to use their support along with the phenomenal support of The Leaky Boob and others as I continue to breastfeed my child while I am pregnant and on into tandem breastfeeding. The support that these women and men provide will help to normalize breastfeeding in the western world.

  842. OMG a whole bunch of great items most of which I have been wanting to try

  843. Nursing baby number three – only one month old! So excited to see this giveaway!

  844. This is an amazing giveaway!

  845. So glad to be among the breastfeeding gang!! Happy Ultimate World Breastfeeding Week to us!! And this is truly the Mother of all Giveaways. Best wishes to all.

  846. These giveaways are amazing! Two mamas are going to be very lucky!

  847. I was very excited about the recent new article stating that prolonged breastfeeding is linked to higher IQs as well as all the added health benefits to mom and baby. I’m tired of people telling me that 6 weeks is all my son needed. I’m going on 6 months and plan to nurse him (or provide pumped milk) for at least 18-24 months!

    I’d love to win one of these amazing giveaways!

  848. I always like showing how normal breastfeeding is. My daughter is almost 17 months and we still nurse anywhere and anytime. I always give moms who are nursing a nice word of thanks and encouragement to let them know they are awesome!

  849. I think educating kids–ie, kids seeing moms breastfeeding all the time, everywhere–is probably most important. I suspect that my kids think breastfeeding is completely, absolutely normal and just “the way it is”! and that’s the way it should be–nothing needing promotion, or support (other than the help a new mom needs to make sure she can nurse)–not at all to diminish the wonderful work you guys (and others) have done to promote breastfeeding, just that hopefully the end result will be a casual societal acceptance because, after all, what’s unusual about feeding your baby the way your body is designed to? And the next generation is a great place for that to happen!

  850. Samantha F. says

    Awesome giveaway! So excited to nurse my son come October 🙂

  851. Breastfeeding is such an awesome gift to give your child!

  852. I’m expecting our first biological child next month (we have a 20-mo old adopted daughter) and this will be my first time nursing and I’m very excited to give this baby some “liquid gold”, in fact, I may even give our daughter some in he sippy cup, since I wasn’t able to breastfeed her when she was born and feel that every child can benefit from mommy’s milk, even if they only get a little bit!

  853. Oops…not sure if I left my comment on the right page…so here it is again! I love everything about this year’s WABA theme!! I think that peer support is SO important!! I would not have a successful breastfeeding relationship with my son if it weren’t for one of my very dear friends who sat beside me, through the tears, in the very beginning. Our son is now 33+ months old and still a crazy milkie monster! He can’t wait to share his milkies with his baby brother who is due any day now. And I can’t wait to continue to support other Mamas…that’s why I became a CLC 😉

  854. Breastfeeding is hands-down the most amazing thing my body does or has ever done. I love it and I love to encourage/ support others in doing it as well!

  855. best giveaway ever!!!!

  856. Stephannie says

    So many comments must mean a lot of sweet nurslings out there! Go nursing mommas! Y’all wish me luck today as my little one has an echocardiogram. Feels good to know I can comfort her on the spot, anytime, anywhere. Nursing is such a lovely thing!

  857. angie lingo says

    Thanks to tlb and lll I have been bfing forv15 mos and currently22 weeks pregnant and excited to bf the next

  858. shanna miller says

    It’s so great to see so much support for breastfeeding moms.

  859. Great giveaway! I found websites like this one as well as support from my midwives and Jack Newman’s book were extremely helpful and supportive in my breast feeding Journey. It was also great to have a lot of mom’s that I knew in my area to meet up with and discuss our journey together.

  860. Raising awareness, making breast feeding par of every day life, and supporting breastfeeding mothers is so very important! I had absolutely no support while breastfeeding my babies (i’m still going on the youngest one), in fact my family talked badly about me and told me i was being selfish. Without blogs like this and pictures of other women doin the most natural thing in the world, I wouldn’t have made it through breastfeeding. I would have quickly given up on my first and never tried on my second. Thank you!!!

  861. Bree-Ann Edwards says

    Wow! What a great prize pack. Hope I win 🙂

  862. Kaylee Alissa Phillips says

    I can’t seem to subscribe to SDBFC’s mailing list.
    I get an error message that the page is not available after hitting subscribe

  863. Sarah McLaughlin says

    Wow, this is such an amazing giveaway!

  864. Melody Rudenko says

    Amazing give away!!! The mother to mother support in the digital age book sounds really interesting (and familiar) I may have to look for a copy.

  865. Milk’s the best!

  866. Jessica Lincoln says

    Wish of would have known about sites like this when I was nursing my second daughter and had production problems… They have been a big help with my third 🙂

  867. Shannon Winter says

    I breastfed my son until 19 months and am currently nursing my 3 week old daughter. Having a husband and family that supports me and my decisions has been the best.

  868. Even when nursing is crazyhard in the beginning, it’s so worth it when you look back, 3 months later, knowing that you persevered. I’ve had some major issues with nursing, but we got through them. I’m nursing my third child while pregnant with my fourth 🙂

  869. What an amazing giveaway! Breastfeeding support is so important and can make all the difference in a mother’s decision to keep at it or give up during tough times!

  870. Selia Busey says

    By sharing how important breastfeeding is and offering support, I have been able to help multiple moms feel supported enough to continue to breastfeed even when it was difficult. This site does the same, but reaches so many more!

  871. Raising awareness and support for breastfeeding is such a big deal for me! I think that a lot more women would BF if they had the support they needed. I know for me, without the support of my husband and family, I would have given up very quickly! Babies deserve the breast!!

  872. Beth Balala says

    Wow, what amazing prizes!!

  873. I can’t wait to get my chance to nurse…eagerly expecting baby and this wonderufl experience!

  874. I think its important to support other breastfeeding moms along their journey to show them that they are not in this alone and not everyone is rude and frowns down on it. If awareness can be raised and the taboo lifted I believe a lot more mothers would be inspired to give breastfeeding a chance.

  875. I am breastfeeding my second child, but am still dealing with extremely low milk supply. I know even the tiny little bit of milk I supply for my baby is good for her, and am grateful to be able to give here whatever I can!

  876. I think it’s important to teach breastfeeding or pregnant women the reality of nursing a newborn: how frequent it is, how to get off to a good start, size of newborn stomach, how to REALLY tell they’re getting enough, etc.
    And I think it’s also important to teach breastfeeding moms how to deal with biting. I’m nursing my 17 month old and have been asked a lot lately how I deal with biting.

  877. I nursed my first for 17 months and was 24 weeks pregnant before she weaned and plan on doing nursing the new baby as well! I think having a supportive non judgmental friend has helped me the most through all my ups and downs with breastfeeding.

  878. As a first time mom I was nervous about the ins and outs of breastfeeding and kept thinking a ton of what ifs. Now that my little boy has arrived those what ifs and nerves have gone out the window. He is doing great at nursing and I am thankful for those that I can turn to if I do have questions or concerns.

  879. Online support groups were all in had to turn when it had my baby girl. I’m was surrounded by people that didn’t agree with breastfeeding past the first week. This giveaway is awesome and it hope one day breastfeeding is the norm once again!

  880. Nursing my 5 month old and encouraging other moms as we go! Breastmilk is so amazing, the more I learn about it the more in awe I am!

  881. Stephanie Hall says

    I am due with my 5th kid on Oct 6th. (First Boy the other 4 are very silly girls) I nurse my babies until they are 16-18 month old. I love babies.

  882. Kora Moore says

    Thanks for helping support bfing mamas. I know countless women who would have been successful breastfeeding if they had had the support they needed. This giveaway looks awesome…I’ll have to share if I get a chance!

  883. Most of my friends and I all breast feed our babies. No matter where we are, we are not ashamed to be feeding our kiddos in the most natural way possible. When I first started breast feeding, I was a little shy about doing it in public, covered or not. Being around so many confident women who could really care less about other people’s judgements gave me the strength to feel more comfortable!

  884. Nicole O'Hare says

    The best piece of advice I give to anyone who asks me about breast feeding is “it’s not as easy as it looks!” My first son took 3 weeks before we got the hang of it and my second son got it right away.

  885. My 17 month old and I hang out and breastfeed at the park, the library, and our local natural kids store 🙂 It is always encouraging to me to see others breastfeeding in public so hopefully us doing the same will help to encourage others and normalize it.

  886. Jennifer Pikor says

    Surprising even myself I am still breastfeeding my 2 year old daughter at night and in the morning. Before children I would never have imagined myself breastfeeding for this long! In fact I would have said “no way that is disturbing”. Amazing the new views and values one develops after having a child!! My new motto and advice to future parents is never say never. We are so good at saying “ohhhhh I would never do that or oh boy if that was my child…….” before we have our own. Breastfeeding is beautiful and I wouldn’t give up being able to do it for the world. I am very privileged and happy I have been able to. I hope I will be able to with our next child as well. My daughter is slowly weening down and I believe will decide very soon that she no longer wants to. I’m sure I will miss it. This contest is awesome with such amazing prizes. Who ever wins should consider themselves very lucky.

  887. Awesome giveaway! There’s no way I’d still be nursing my 22 mo old without support from my online mommy friends and information from sites like kellymom!

  888. A woman I work with is expecting and planning to breastfeed. We went on a business trip recently so she had an opportunity to ask questions in a more private environment than usual. I just tried to be as honest and encouraging as possible, and let her know about all the resources I used and that she could always ask me about anything at all that comes up.

  889. Lauren Heimann says

    I think comfortably nursing your own children in public, talking positively and honestly about it, and sharing with all my pregnant friends solid resources for breastfeeding support is essential.

  890. Jessica Pero says

    Support for other moms is of UTMOST importance. I struggled with both of my oldest girls, and finally got it right with number three, my son. The difference? IMMENSELY MORE SUPPORT from friends, whether “in real life” or facebook support. I’m now pregnant with my fourth and still nursing my 19 month old son 🙂 So I try to provide the same kind of support, without being overbearing or pushy.

  891. This is an awesome giveaway. I love TLB. Sometimes the best support for a bf mother is just listening. Some mothers just need understanding without the first advice being feed formula. Also just smiling and saying what a good job their doing.

  892. Thanks to pages like the leaky boob and other breastfeeding sources and books, including a mommy group, I was able to get through the inverted nipple challenge. I tried and tried until i was able to get rid of the horrid nipple shields and we will be nursing two years in a week. I am really proud that we were able to over come it and succeeded for as long as we have. My daughter doesn’t like any other milks and she is growing well, meeting all her milestones on time or before time. She is a very happy, healthy, loving and active child who loves to express her self, I think breastfeeding, co-sleeping and so on has helped us greatly.

  893. Love the bond I have with my daughter from breastfeeding! Also really really want to win one of the prize packs!!!!!

  894. This giveaway is amazing, truly a nursing mother’s dream!! I am happy to still be breastfeeding my 14 month old nursling, I exclusive breastfed for eight months before introducing solids or food of any kind and it has been one of the best and most rewarding experiences of my life. I actually did not know about or join any online breastfeeding support group until several months after my babe was born but I am happy to be a part of a few now and offer my encouragement and support and I wish I would have before I started my breastfeeding journey.

  895. Oh my! What an exciting giveaway! I could use some more nursing tanks & clothing.

  896. Thanks for this giveaway!

  897. What an amazing giveaway. Its so awesome to see such wonderful support for breast feeding.

  898. Melissa Devroom says

    I received support from a total stranger when I was out walking with my daughter and she was hungry out of nowhere. An older lady came out of her house and asked if I was bf. I said yes and she got me a chair so I could feed my baby in her garage. It was so sweet 🙂

  899. Amazing giveaway! These product would really come in handy as I am EBF my daughter 🙂

  900. Christina Laskie says

    awesome giveaway, happy breast feeding!

  901. Antoinette bennett says

    I have a hygea and I love it I have a friend who needs a breast pump really bad I would love to win one for her!!

  902. Hayley Elliott says

    Seriously awesome giveaway! I love the breastfeeding community! Everyone is always so helpful and there for each other. All the hosts of this giveaway understand how important breastfeeding is and are trying to help mothers succeed in their breastfeeding journey with all their wonderful products. 🙂

  903. sara swanson says

    fantastic giveaway!

  904. New moms who are breastfeeding need to surround themselves with light and love, with only positive people. Nothing is more discouraging than being told to just give the baby a bottle of formula. Things get easier and better and before you know it it’s easy and your baby is getting more milk in shorter amounts of time.

  905. I’m really appreciative of the support I receive from my FB BF group. It encourages me to keep going, when it’s hard. Thank you!

  906. Michele R. says

    A new mom has so much on her plate and her emotions are all out of whack from everything that goes along with being a new mom. Encouraging and supporting her breastfeeding goes a long, long, way. I felt like I had people who “said” they supported me breastfeeding with my first child but they never seemed to actually do so. I still felt somewhat ashamed or weird and would not breastfeed in public, and felt bad that I would stay in the car to breastfeed while others were enjoying an outing. Now, I’m due with baby boy #2 in September and man, my whole outlook has changed. Since the first, I’ve found a ton of websites and online communities that rejoice in the woman’s right to breastfeed. I now look forward to the process and feel more encouraged and confident in my choice to breastfeed my child. What a difference awareness, communication, support, and community (and not to mention 4 years) can make!
    BTW- excellent giveaway! I so have my fingers crossed and am praying to the giveaway gods for a shot at this. Would LOVE to win package one- mommy needs a double breast pump, and I can’t afford one that nice!

  907. what an amazing giveaway!!!! so excited:)

  908. Rachel Koby says

    I am the first in my family to breastfeed: I love support groups like this because they make me feel like I am not alone in this. They are very empowering. I never knew nursing my son would teach me so much about myself, life, and change me in such a way that I can’t imagine. I hope to be an advocate for breastfeeding moms dealing with lip and tongue ties. Thank you for this awesome opportunity and giveaway! Happy World Breastfeedinh Week!

  909. Sonya Morris says

    I realized how important it was sharing awareness a few months ago while delivering baby #4. I was still nursing my 2 1/2 year old and starting worrying that he may not get colostrum. No one could answer that for me & they tried hard by asking the LC. It was a hot topic that day. I had a different LC to visit daily during my 4 day stay & one of them said that not a lot of women make it nursing to a year & was rare for them to see someone nursing a toddler & having a newborn. My toddler stopped nursing the day her brother was born by her choice. But yes, my milk did turn into colostrum which I thought was pretty amazing!

  910. Keep trying and trust your intuition — if something seems off, don’t hesitate to ask as many people for help as you need!

  911. I love to talk about my breast feeding experience with every new mom I can! You never know when you might just keep someone going a little bit longer!

  912. If only! My lo is turning 7 months tomorrow, and never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be able to bf this long. 🙂

    • Stephanie Martinez says

      Our babies have the same birthday! I didn’t think I would have been breastfeeding this long! I’m so proud of myself!

  913. Raising awareness and talking to moms and supporting them in their breastfeeding journey helps because you NEVER know when your words of encouragement are just what they need to make their breastfeeding journey work for them. Thank goodness for the internet! When I had supply issues, I was able to rectify it with tea and lactation cookies! Have had no problems since.

  914. What a great giveaway!!! The support I received from other breastfeeding mamas and my own mom made a huge difference on the wonderful journey I have taken with my son!

  915. Fantastic prizes!! What a wonderful way to congratulate all those Mommas who’ve been able to stick with breastfeeding!! It isn’t always easy, but it’s so incredibly rewarding to know you’re creating the best possible nutrition for your baby and feeding them naturally for as long as possible! After having to have a large breast abscess surgically drained I never thought I would be able to continue breastfeeding this long, but my little girl is now 15 months old and still nursing strong!!

  916. Sharing my two very different BF experiences with friends and letting them know it’s not all or nothing! Oh and recommending resources and clothes/products that I found helpful!

  917. I wouldn’t have lasted as long as I did breastfeeding my first baby, lets hope I make it as long with the second due in 7 weeks!

  918. It would be amazing to see more breastfeeding friendly establishments. I am feeling a bit trapped at home and knowing of places where I won’t get stared at just because my daughter needs to eat would be wonderful.

  919. So excited about this giveaway! I hardly ever enter these things but this one is just too good to pass up! We’ve been nursing for 9 months solid meow and it (and my son) have changed my life! I begin my doula training in October and am getting set up w wic meow to become a breast feeding peer counselor. One of my girlfriends is pregnant w her second child and wanting to try breast feeding w this one so if I win I’m gonna split the goods w her!! Thanks again!

  920. So happy to be able to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week with my one-month-old son (who is bf-ing like a champ!).

  921. Jenn McClearn says

    I just try to tell new moms not to give up that it is hard work but it is sooo worth it, it’s free, and better for baby 🙂

  922. I give out any advice when it is asked for, especially regarding breastfeeding. Online, I answer questions I feel that I have experience with, trying to give other moms the benefit of my own experiences. I read the forums and facebook posts to learn more about breastfeeding for myself and to aid others. Love the giveaways!

  923. What a wonderful giveaway and blog. I don’t think I could have been as sucessful as I have been if it wasn’t for groups like this, you guys are truely wonderful.misty

  924. So thrilled to see so much support for breastfeeding in a positive way!! Thank you!

  925. Stephanie Martinez says

    I love to share breastfeeding love by making information packets for local moms that want to breastfeed! We don’t have alot of support in our small town to breastfeed. I like to help out others mom.

  926. Ashley C. says

    Support is critical! Real support, not unsupportive support. I’m blessed to have delivered my children at a hospital with a free weekly support group staffed by 2-3 IBCLCs for every meeting.

  927. One year I carried around little gold ribbon bows to share with moms I saw breastfeeding in public. I should do that again! I always give a nursing mom and smile and say how sweet her baby is when I see a NIP couple.

  928. Michelle Hall says

    Sweet, thanks for such an awesome give away. Good luck everyone

  929. Elizabeth Gee says

    Amazing giveaway! Also I find that since I have had only tiny almost non issues with bfing it is important to share that with other moms and future momies. Often we only hear about how difficult bfing is. It is important to discuss how easy it is for most people too.

  930. I wasn’t able to breastfeed my first but I have learned so much since then. I am excited to breastfeed my second.

  931. I try to encourage other breastfeeding moms to work through the difficulties of the first few days, it was hard for me as well but there are resources available to help you along the way.

  932. Breastfeeding is a journey and a family experience. Love my journey with two kids and now nursing a toddler for the first time. So grateful for the awesome support I received and the passion I have found along the way.

  933. Khristin Zakem says

    Luckily I have a very supportive family. Most of them breastfed their own children,even when breastfeeding want common among their peers. I think this made a huge difference for me as well as my own determination to power through the tough times of sore nipples and drowning my babies with over supply. The most encouraging thing was when a waitress ina restaurant told me I was doing s good job while feeding my son. There’s just something about affirmations from strangers!

  934. Alexis Bertch says

    I encourage everyone I know to breastfeed. Unfortunately, many people around here do not breastfeed.

  935. This is the jackpot of giveaways for breast-feeding moms!!!

  936. Breastfeeding support helped tremendously when I realized my now-11 month old was sensitive to dairy and all soy products (even soybean oil, which is in everything!) If it hadn’t been for friends who were supportive of my decision to continue breastfeeding as well as the support and experience of my sister-in-law (whose fourth child was also sensitive to dairy and soy), I’m not sure how I would have made it! My daughter turns one year old on August 13th, and I cannot wait to celebrate the year and all of its struggles!

  937. I think that creating a non-judge mental atmosphere is so important- it frees up women to learn about breastfeeding instead of having their defenses up.

  938. I love breast feeding my daughter and I love sharing my story and give words of encouragement to new moms/moms to be 🙂

  939. Robin Longley says

    Would love love love to win!!! My EBF Daughter is 9 months old and we are going strong! Much love to BFing Moms everywhere! And hope someone in need wins this grand prize!

  940. What a wonderful giveaway!

  941. Cassandra Eastman says

    By helping our friends or family when they have questions or concerns and steering them in the right direction!

  942. Alexis Bertch says
  943. I fully intended to EBF my first child, but only lasted a few months (and never exclusively) due to a total lack of support. The second time around, I had educated myself and again planned to EBF, but we were undercut by a couple of pediatricians (not our usual one, just who was on-call) who were scornful of natural birth and breastfeeding. An unnecessary hospital stay for neonatal jaundice that included formula supplementation stopped us from EBFing and negatively impacted our breastfeeding relationship, but we were still able to persevere for 14 months, until I discovered that I was pregnant with baby #3 and Baby #2 spontaneously self-weaned. I am bound and determined to EBF baby #3, and refuse to let anyone sabotage us this time!

  944. For blog topics, I think a great one (if it hasn’t already been covered) would be dealing with pediatricians and other health care providers who push formula because it’s what’s easiest for them – to get baby’s weight gain on track, etc. How do we communicate respectfully while still informing them that, for example, a breastfed baby is not going to follow the same growth curves as formula-fed babies, have the same number of diapers per day, etc?

  945. Heather Mihalovits says

    encourage and support new mom’s nursing in public covered or not by simply saying,”thank you.”

  946. christine k. says

    I always try to smile or thank those who I see NIP

  947. I love all this support for breastfeeding=)

  948. I’m the only one out of my friends and family that breastfeeds. I only made it a few months with my first and only a few weeks with my second. We’re going strong at 3 1/2 weeks with number 3. I don’t really get a lot of support from friends and family. But my husband is my biggest cheerleader. And that helps out tremendously.

  949. I’m having my second before the end of the month (hopefully!) and I’m excited to start a whole new BFing adventure with him. I would have never made it to 2 years with my first if it hadn’t been for the support of other new moms, and women who told me it was hard, but it was worth it.

  950. Wow, awesome giveaway! Thanks 🙂

  951. This is an amazing giveaway !! Would love to win these great prizes!!

  952. Amazing giveaway !!!

  953. Love this giveaway! I am going on 4 months EBF with my almost-5 month baby! We had a rough start with her being born just over 4 weeks early but we fought together and made it!! I just NIP 3 times at the zoo this week!!

  954. My little boy is almost 11 months. We started off very rocky in the bf’ing world. Lots of pain and frustration .. but we pushed through and I love putting my little man to bed every night, bf’ing and rocking him. I’m going to miss it one day !

  955. I am surprised and encouraged each day by all the positive and wonderful benefits of breast feeding. I am EBF my 9 month old and loving it. I want to testify to all moms and future moms about the amazing connection you can have with your baby, and how breastfeeding helps you know your baby better. It’s worth all the struggle, don’t give up!

  956. Alexandra Pitcher says

    It’s nice to hear that you’re doing a good job; especially on the worst days, when you’re tired, overwhelmed and convinced everyone is doing it better. We’ve all struggle, thrown up our hands, and felt like we were at the end of our rope; then it got better. Hold on to the good days they’ll get you through.

  957. I’m so thankful for the wonderful experience of breast feeding my 13 month old twins, and I’m proud to say we were counted in The Big Latch On this morning. The Leaky Boob has been such a valuable resource for support and information for me.

  958. Jamie LeBlanc says

    So excited for this giveaway!!! I’m looking forward to exclusively breastfeeding my son who is due to arrive in a few weeks!!

  959. What an awesome giveaway! I am currently BFing my 4th child and the products and culture have evolved so much since I bf’d my first one nearly 11 yrs ago!

  960. I am so excited to see this giveaway! I am a birth worker and mama and offer free breastfeeding support to women in my area. I have about 5 or 6 pumps that I am able to loan and whatever other supplies I can get to give.
    I just stopped BF my 2 1/2 year old last week as a precaution for my current pregnancy – another rainbow baby!!! I am so excited about BF again – I always am.

  961. My daughter turns 5 months on August 5th and we have been breastfeeding exclusively since she was only about 15 minutes old. I plan to breastfeed, at the very least, till she is 2 years old. If I can and she still wants to, we’ll breastfeed longer. I was lucky enough to have given birth to her in what they refer to as a “baby friendly hospital” which means baby they let baby room with mom the duration of the hospital stay (as long as baby doesn’t have to go to the NICU) and encourage breastfeeding. It has really been so nice to be able to give my baby the gift of breastmilk. If a mother can feed her baby at the breast I feel she should at least give it a try! Not only are you able to form a special bond with baby but you are nourishing them with one of the best things for them! I also believe that all mother’s should not be afraid to NIP. It is your right to do so and you are, by law, aloud to do so. Ladies, don’t give up when it seems that it gets tough and you feel like you can’t do it any longer. It’s something that is very rewarding for both you and baby. Breastfeeding is beautiful and natural. I am a proud, strong breastfeeding mother!

  962. Wasn’t able to nurse my first one so I pumped for almost 6 months. With my second, I had a ton of problems but we are 3.5 months and still going. Without support from Robin and other mamas who share their wisdom, we would have never made it this far. Thanks!

  963. Maggie Hensley says

    I EBF both of my boys who are 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 now. We are expecting our third baby, and I cannot wait to be a nursing mother again! It’s the part I miss most about having an infant, it’s a bond that can’t be described in words. What a blessing it is to be able to breast feed and encourage other mothers in their journeys as well. 🙂

  964. these packages are great! 😐

  965. I dont know many bf moms but I try and talk about it and encourage it as much as possible as im continuing to bf my son at 14 mo

  966. Jessica K says

    Breastfed #1 for 15 months, her choice to wean. And am currently nursing #2 (5 month old) and plan on doing so as long as he wants. Finding support in social media setting has been something I never thought would take root with me but sharing and hearing others struggles and triumphs has been a large and very positive part of my breastfeeding journey! Xx

  967. I think my family and friends letting me feel comfortable enough to breastfeed in front of them without a cover or hiding in the bedroom would help me leaps and bounds in being able to breastfeed where ever whenever!

  968. Nursing my daughter is by far one of the best decisions I feel I could have made as a parent. I’m so glad I’ve had people in my life who have been supportive and encouraging!

  969. I love supporting moms by doing breastfeeding photography, assisting with births, breastfeeding education, giving free photos and help to our local LLL, and hopefully one day becoming a IBCLC! I do art as well ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/heartbeatstudio ) and I blog and help out friends as much as possible!! Woohoo!! Thank you for this!

  970. Due in a few weeks and looking forward to breastfeeding for the first time.

  971. Love snuggles and the support of my local LLL group!

  972. cecelia martin says

    Amazing giveaway! fingers crosses!!

  973. This is a fabulous giveaway!! Breastfeeding is so important to me. Not every mother is able to breastfeed easily, and support is so key for so many families. I believe that awareness of breastfeeding benefits, options for help, but also emotional support for mothers who are unable to breastfeed are very important.

  974. Catherine B says

    Nursing my baby now. Support is great if available – my mom was not supportive but my mother in law is, yay!

  975. Jeannette Green says

    Breastfeeding wasn’t easy with my 1st but we got help from a lactation consultant and nursed for 14 months. I’m now 6 weeks in and going strong with my 2nd!

  976. Amanda Dasinger says

    This would be our dreams come true! because of finances we have had to do without a lot of things that make life easier. My daughter is almost 5 months old now and is exclusively breastfed. We plan to do it for as long as she wants… this would help 😉 thank you for doing this, I am so happy for the mommy who wins, even if it isn’t me. Good luck ladies! <3

  977. Catherine B says
  978. Thank you for all your support in our breastfeeding journey!

  979. I try to support and give advice to breast feeding moms whenever I can. I appreciate all of the love and support that I received when I was starting out. I bf my first until she was 2 and I bf my 2nd who is 5 months old now.

  980. Brittany Jimenez says

    It’s not always easy but it’s worth it and CAN be done if you listen to yourself and trust in you and your baby. Raising awareness helps dispel the negativity that keeps us from breastfeeding and nuturing happy, healthy lives!

  981. Awesome giveaway

  982. I love this giveaway. As a LLL Leader, CLEC, and IBCLC candidate (took my exam last Monday), World Breastfeeding Week is so special to me. It amazes me every year how there is more and more support and more ways to support all moms, breastfeeding or otherwise. I am eager to see how we can continue to celebrate breastfeeding without isolating mothers who do not breastfeed. We are making progress…

  983. Michelle Carico says

    I think it is amazing what you guys are doing! I love Breastfeeding moms everywhere!

  984. Jerrika Aiken says

    What a fantastic giveaway! I exclusively pumped for 14 months for my daughter and I’m expecting a little boy come December. I plan to BF him as well! The World Breast Feeding Week is such a great way to normalize BFing! Thanks to all the awesome spenders!

  985. Jerrika Aiken says

    What a fantastic giveaway! I exclusively pumped for 14 months for my daughter and I’m expecting a little boy come December. I plan to BF him as well! The World Breast Feeding Week is such a great way to normalize BFing! Thanks to all the awesome sponsors!

  986. I’m on my third nursling, month 10 (the first nursed 12 months, the second 24 months), and my LCs, all three, have been the biggest key to our success. I’d say it’s also really meaningful just to get that nod of approval and a smile from strangers, as well.

  987. Hooray Breastfeeding week!

  988. There are so many ways to support breastfeeding today. When I had my first baby almost 11 years ago, there was none unless you knew someone who breastfed. I always talk to my friends and anyone I can about breastfeeding. It is amazing and worth the hard work!!! I think social media has been amazing for breastfeeding!! Plus it helps having a partner who supports breastfeeding as much as you do!

  989. What an awesome way to support mamas who are supporting their babes!

  990. I’m sooo glad my friend linked me to this! I’m doing a breastfeeding event tomorrow. Ill be sure to share with other mommies.

  991. I’m only 6 weeks along with baby #2, but with 9 years between them I feel like I’m doing this again for the first time! Though I’m afraid I won’t remember how to breastfeed properly or how to change a diaper, I really can’t wait, and hopefully it’s just like riding a bike, it all comes back once you start again!

  992. Christine Keeter says

    I am now breastfeeding my 4th child. Breastfeeding my children has led to some of the most special memories I have of my children as infants. As many of us have, I’ve nursed through mastitis, thrush, engorgement, cracked and bleeding nipples, etc, and it was/is SO worth it, for them and for me!

  993. This giveaway is the best! I never would have gotten this far without the support of other bf mamas.

  994. I am so pumped about this giveaway, no pun intended! 😉 I EBF my daughter until she was about 7.5 months old when I regretably converted to her formula for no good reason. She’s 8.5 months old now, and I regret it so much.. I just read about all of the GMO’s found in formula (information I never came across when I initially compared all of the ingredients found on the cans a month ago.. :/). I decided today that I am going to try my hardest to relactate and hopefully convert back to EBF her. I still have not given up her morning nursing session, so I still have some supply.. And I am so blessed never have had supply issues. I’m determined, and I know my body can do it! Wish me luck! 🙂

  995. I never took a breastfeeding class at the hospital so I check out a few YouTube videos to learn a few tips. The only woman I ever saw breastfeed a baby was my Aunt when I was in high school and a woman in a cafe in Chicago. Both times, I thought it was gross. I was ignorant, but then I became a mother in January 2013 and I knew breastfeeding was the best nutrition for my baby. I NIP whenever, wherever. My LO is almost 7 months old and is EBF. I will continue to breastfeed my baby as long as she desires and I breastfeed in front of family, friends and strangers so I help normalize breastfeeding! This is the most natural thing I do.

  996. Rachel McBride says

    I love how educating one woman is like a wildfire, so many can be ignited from that one spark!

  997. Great giveaway! Very excited!! 🙂

  998. Breastfeeding awareness helps us all to speak up so we can help moms through the “booby traps” that happen SO often. So many moms give up just because they don’t have the support. Thanks for all you do to help support moms, babies, and families.

  999. Rebecca Christensen says

    First time mommy due October 17th with a boy! I’m going to breastfeed, even if it kills me. 😛 I’ve been getting as much information as I can from both the internet and from people I know who have breastfed.

  1000. good luck everyone! =3

  1001. Kettfisch says

    Normalize it. Do it. Talk about it. Share your struggles. Create spaces and time to allow co-workers to pump.

  1002. anastasia b says

    I love your website and I share a lot of the info you post with other nursing moms! The best thing that has helped me help others is my own experience breastfeeding my own two kids 🙂

  1003. What an incredible giveaway!

  1004. Heather Brady says

    Awesome prizes! I’m currently nursing my second child.

  1005. I have only just found this site in the past few months since I’ve had my second. I wish I had known about it with my first. I have learnt so much and I thought I was good to go with my second! Thanks!

  1006. Brenda Carling says

    I have made it 13 and a half months so far and still going strong!!!! Huge deal for me, only made it 3 with first.

  1007. I think we all deserve love and support through our journey to feed our babies. I love that there are sites out there like this due to my breast feeding support circle being very small.

  1008. Great giveaway! I think the support to continue through pregnancy from ladies on the leaky boob really helped me; and so many times I hear women say they wish they could’ve gone longer and with support and real facts so many can extend! Iam proud to have breastfeed baby 1: 15 months, baby 2: 14 months and baby 3: 17 months going strong and 13 weeks pregnant! Such a good start to their lives!

  1009. What an awesome giveaway for bf mommas!!

  1010. Michelle L says

    I am EBF my daughter as a first time mom. I would have quit a long time ago if it weren’t for the support of my local group and fb contacts/support groups. I’m so glad we are still going strong!

  1011. Thank you for encouraging BFing moms with reason and evidence!! LOVE IT!!

  1012. I am nursing my son as I write this! Awesome give away, thanks!

    thanks for the support! Still nursing my 11 month old dispite my low supply (sing an sns)

  1014. I nurse in public, and talk freely with all moms about my breastfeeding experiences with other moms

  1015. Thanks to the recent post on nursing in church I now have the confidence to nurse at church without going into the “nursing room.” Since I started nursing during services I’ve noticed other new moms doing the same.

  1016. The more we talk about breastfeeding, the more it becomes a part of our culture. A great way to support women is to have friends to talk about breastfeeding with.

  1017. Best thing I’ve done for my children.

  1018. Awesome give away, awesome site!! Still nursing at 13 months 🙂

  1019. On month 4 of breastfeeding my second little girl. Dealt with oversupply issues both times, but I wouldn’t trade EBFing for the world! My husband has been super supportive and being a part of groups like the Leaky Boob has been a great resource.

  1020. What an awesome giveaway!

  1021. Whenever I find out a friend is pregnant, I always tell them that I’m more than willing to answer any questions about breastfeeding if that’s how they choose to feed their baby.I’ve had a few take me up on the offer.

  1022. Stacy Rowe says

    I wasn’t successful nursing my first and second child. We got pregnant with a surprise baby and I wanted to try again, this time I had the support system I needed (an awesome hospital, LLC, and a great friend that was available 24/7) and here I am nursing my 14 month old son. I’m so lucky to get a chance to prove to myself I could do it, and have successfully this time.

    Keep up the great work, and lets normalize breast feeding and being close to our babies!

  1031. Andrea Rollins says

    I have a 7.5 week old baby boy and I am determined to breastfeed him for as long as possible! So beneficial for him and only the best for my monkey! I love this site and many others for support!

  1048. I am now breastfeeding baby #5 he is now 3 months old. I love the fact that God gave us women the ability not only to carry a baby in our womb He also gave us the ability to feed our babies using our bodies! It is so amazing!

  1049. tiffany messenger says

  1060. Briget Symmonds says

    I am so excited for this giveaway!! I am the Mother of 3, 2 which are older 16 & 13…unfortunately I was only able to breastfeed them about a month & 1/2 each. Our newest addition who’s now 20 weeks is EBF & I couldn’t be more proud! His first tooth just cut a few days ago & I know blogs like the Leaky Boob & others will help get me through all the concerns of a nursling who’s teething! Thank you so much for this opportunity!

  1061. Wow this is one amazing giveaway! I’m expecting baby number two any day now and with all I’ve learned since my dd was born I’m hoping this time around to make it past six months. I’m so grateful to resources like this one and tell all the pregnant ladies and new mamas about it hoping they will also be successful in breast feeding their babes. Thank you!

  1062. 14 months and going strong!

  1063. Lisa Marie says

    I have ebf SIX!!!!! I started with my first daughter at 16 and knowing nothing but what books told me. It was the most natural and beautiful thing ever. I am now 26 and am on month 3 of ebf my sixth. Ten years of breastfeeding!! I call that LOVE <3

  1065. Cintia Scanlan says

    As a momma of two who loves to tandem feed, I would love to win this amazing prize. We just got home from participating in “the big latch on” here in Salt Lake. Love Breastfeeding and all it’s benefits for my 18 month apart boys 🙂

  1066. meg grundon says

    So excited for this!

  1067. As a new EBFing mother of a beautiful 4 month old, this website had been a unmatchable resource for me! Heating that other mothers are feeling the same things I am really makes me feel less like a crazy person 🙂

  1068. pattijo33 says

    It’s so great to get such support from other nursing mommies. Thanks!

  1069. Yay- looks like an amazing giveaway! My little nusling is 6 months old and I’ve bf all 4 of my babies… Love all the positive encouragement on The Leaky Boob!!!

  1070. I couldn’t be on my way to a year of nursing without the online support groups that got me started!

  1071. Alicia Stevens says

    Support is the key to long term successful breastfeeding. The first couple weeks are the hardest while you and baby are still working on getting that perfect latch. It becomes more difficult if you have a complication such as thrush, a lip tie or tongue tie, mastitis, or some other breastfeeding related complication come into play. In America especially today breasts have been sexualized so people tend to get uncomfortable when a woman is doing the simple act of feeding and nourishing her baby with the best available food for her baby, milk specially designed for that particular baby and their needs. There should be nothing offensive about a woman feeding her baby in public or even a picture of a woman feeding her baby on a social network like Facebook. The only way to help “normalize” breastfeeding is just that! Feed your baby in public, lose the cover, and proudly post a picture of that beautiful bond a mother has breastfeeding her child.

    Thank you for the opportunity to win this wonderful give away and share my opinion. I love breastfeeding!

  1072. Heather R. says

    I support breastfeeding by attending La Leche League meetings.

  1073. Stephanie Scherling says

    waiting for baby #4 to arrive. really hoping to make it much further in nursing this time!

  1074. I could not have made it this far, almost 8 months, without my online support system. Having such a wide range of experiences helped me understand what was normal & have me the encouragement I needed to push through the hard times.

  1075. Kendra Seifert says

    I’m Nrsing my Daughter Now….LOve ReadingThe Leaky Boob Posts On Fb, Great Support!

  1076. try to never give up on breastfeeding! some days will be harder than others, but you are not alone!

  1077. Crossing my fingers! What an awesome giveaway!

  1078. Thanks for the great giveaway! and the awesome support and advice!

  1079. It’s so nice to see encouraging comments when so many people around me are all like “oh you may not be able to breastfeed- I wasn’t. Keep your options open to formula.”

  1080. what an awesome giveaway!

  1081. Melissa Pelton says

    What an exciting giveaway!! So many things we need 🙂

  1082. <3 this!!

  1083. What an amazing give-away! My little one is 5 months & my goal is to breastfeed her until she’s two. The first few months were rough but so worth it. We have such a great bond & she’s very healthy! ❤️

  1084. Great giveaway 🙂

  1085. Baby boy will be breast feeding as soon as he is able 🙂 sadly he has bowel issues and it might be a few weeks after birth before we can.

  1086. Tricia wright says

    I am happily breastfeeding my almost 3 year old and have thankfully never had a stranger comment negatively. Family have their views but keep them to themselves as I nurse my 26lb boy on their couches!! More breastfeeders means more support for moms who aren’t sure. Loud and proud!!

  1087. What a timely theme for me for this WBW. I just started volunteering at our Baby Cafe since it is through their help that I’m still happily nursing my 21 month old.

  1088. It’s really important to reach out to others who are nursing for support and encouragement. I’m blessed to have a friend nearby who actually showed the process to me while I was expecting, but I still turn to the online community sometimes when I have questions. Thanks for raising awareness and the great giveaway!

  1089. Sherri Copeland says

    I have 2 sons one is 3 about to turn 4 this week and a 10 month old. I nursed my older son only 3 months due to lack of knowledge and returning back to work! I really regret not breast feeding him longer! I am still breast feeding my 10 month old exclusively! He has a problem with biting but we are working thru it! This would be such a wonderful gift. A very nice encouragement gift also. I and my family have been thru so much lately! My husband got laid of from his job and I had just quit my Job from working for family since we thought we were financially stable and my family couldnt afford to pay me any longer, and in the same morning my husband got laid off we also got evicted from the house we were renting! It was over false reasons and we found have went to court but we no longer had any income! After being laid off for 6 months my husband got another job which he got about a week before I gave birth to our 10 month old son. Thankfully it’s going good But we have been homeless for over a year. But our prayers have been answered! We are moving into a house within a month or 2. Anyway what I’m trying to tell you is that I can’t express how much this would mean to me and us if I could win even half of this giveaway

  1090. Nursing right now. I had a mama stop by my table at lunch to say she was glad I nursed. She nursed her kids too. It was sweet to have encouragement not just glares!

  1091. You guys are doing such an amazing thing! My little girl is due on Halloween and I can’t wait for her to arrive and to become a 2nd time breast feeding momma!

  1092. Support a breastfeeding Mom by helping her with whatever she is trying to do while breastfeeding. 🙂 I am always doing ridiculous things while nursing, like unloading groceries, and a helping hand would be much appreciated.

  1093. Breastfeeding may be tough at first, but stick with it. You can be successful at it…and it’s the best thing you can do for your baby!

  1094. So glad to have been able to breastfeed my first and second child ad to be continuing the trend with my third and final child. Appreciate this God-given opportunity to give my children all that they need!!

  1095. Christi Fernandez says

    I so admire you for bringing breastfeeding into the spotlight and showing that it is a beautiful, natural thing, as well as for educating those of us who needed a little help getting it going 🙂

  1096. Breastfeeding my first was so easy and delightful, I didn’t understand why women would ever stop before their babies were ready to wean. Even after my daughter weaned herself, I fed her expressed milk for months. I never needed support because I didn’t have any problems. With my second, however, it is so hard! At 7 weeks, he still can’t latch properly (I think it may be something structural with his lower jaw) and takes about an hour at each feeding to get enough milk. I’m committed for the long haul though, blanched white/bruised nipples and all. A hygeia pump would certainly make things a lot easier, but even words of encouragement are going to be helpful at this point!

    • You are so inspiring! When you have traversed this difficult time, you will be wonderful support to another mother during her time of breastfeeding struggle. Don’t forget to breathe deep and smile at your baby. He is SO happy to have you as his mom. 🙂 All the best to you!

  1097. Kim Earls says

    What a great package to support BF moms ! I’ve been hoping that medela would do something similar, to hand out at hospitals to new moms where they are recieving formula samples currently.

  1098. Jennifer Bell says

    Awesome giveaway! Thanks you also posting links to each of the item’s pages, makes browsing through the companies other products easy 🙂

  1099. amazing giveaway! I am nursing at the keyboard right now!~ Love it

  1100. i have been nursing my 3 month old since the day he was born! we have had some stuggles with a dairy allergy and such but i have had my husbands support through it all which has made it so much easier!

  1101. Meagan D. says

    I was lucky to have an awesome LC that worked with me till I finally got my baby to latch at 3wks old. He just turned 1 & we’re still going strong! I would’ve been lost without the support of that LC & all my lovely mommy friends!

  1102. TaiLeah Madill says

    I nurse in public, uncovered, so others may see and it can become what it should be – a normal part of life.

  1103. Rachael Abedraboh says

    This blog was such an encouragement & resource to me as well as community during my 21 months nursing my first son, especially the first 6 that were so hard, & I’m looking forward to re-joining as a leaky again w/ my second son in a few months 😀

  1104. Jesse Harmon says

    Awesome giveaway! I am excited to join some of these groups ill be a first time breast feeding mama in a few months!!!

  1105. Saleena G says

    With my first son, breastfeeding was a challenge. No one in my friend or family circle had experience, the nurses at the hospital were pushing formula after my emergency cesarean and my baby had poor latch due to tongue sucking. I was also terrified of nursing in public. I always pumped before leaving the house. I had to return to work 8 weeks after his birth, but I managed to give him BM exclusively till age 14 months, even with him refusing to nurse starting at 5 months. He also had a myriad of food allergies (and still does).
    I now have a 2nd son, and am currently breastfeeding him (he’s 12 months old). He also, has only had breastmilk. Thanks to websites like TLB (and many others), I was MUCH more empowered to NIP, and it has made my nursing relationship much better than the first time around. I also returned to work after 8 weeks, but he MUCH prefers to nurse rather than drink expressed milk from a bottle.
    I try to educate, empower and encourage ALL women to nurse, as well as people everywhere about the benefits of nursing as well as the laws which protect the right to nurse in public. I give all Moms I know breastfeeding books, and gift baskets to help their progress. I wink and smile at any woman NIP and in my heart, they simply make me proud to be a woman 🙂

  1106. Stephanie says

    i Am So In LOve With Breastfeeding I Am Becoming A Lactation Consultant.

  1107. I always support those I see nip with a kind smile or a “way to go” . 🙂

  1108. Elisabeth says

    Come check out my re-lactation story, and another Mom’s great story as well, on my friend’s blog! I couldn’t have done it without the support of a whole bunch of people, including my husband and the leaders and Moms at my local La Leche League in Salt Lake City. My Mom was also very supportive even though she never nursed me or my brother. Now I am 37 weeks pregnant with my second and still nursing my daughter. Nursing can be a challenge for some Moms, but it is worth the effort.

  1109. Almost 16 months and still going strong after struggling with a tongue tie and short NICU stay where they tried to convince me that his jaundice was caused by my breastmilk. So glad we stuck it out!

  1110. We’re on day 5 of a nursing strike. Won’t give up!!!!

  1111. I would absolutely love to win this giveaway! Nursing has been really difficult for me- repeated mastitis bouts and plugged duct troubles but I wouldn’t give it up for anything! These few months have been so amazing with my son and I feel honored to nurture him in such an important way!

  1112. Nursing my second baby, son #2 and struggling with D-MER again. Stuck it out until a week shy of 2yrs with ds1 when I was 19wks pregnant. Hoping to make it somewhere near that, with medical pressure to stop to treat chronic migraines and other medical issues but I’ve stood up for us this long 🙂 ds2 is 18.5wks.

  1113. Lindsey Kettenton says

    My son and I are going strong at 13 months! I’m hoping we make it until at least two, and having sites like the leaky boob really help, especially when some people try and make you feel like a freak for nursing past 1.

  1114. this is such an amazing give-away, but not too surprising, since it’s sponsored by some amazing people! breastfeeding has been one of the best parts of raising my four boys, and i am always sharing the benefits & joys, as well as challenges, with as many folks as i can. i’ve recommended your site to many people, as well! thanks for the chance!

  1115. Melissa Russell says

    I support Breastfeeding awareness by giving positive feedback to women who I see bfing and by giving bfing friendly gifts to expecting friends!

  1116. I’ve been nursing since 2010 with my 2 girls and it has been such a journey. I’m glad there are resources and communities like TLB to help us ladies out along the way!

  1117. Christine says

    What an amazing giveaway!
    Moms cannot successfull bfeed without support! I bfed my daughter 22 months an was extremely lucky to get a lot of support! I am now bfeeding my 8 month old, who had a very rough start and is now in amazing shape! I also find it important to give back to my community and do volunteer work helping new moms!
    Ytlb is an inspiration!

  1118. Melanie Raelin says

    This is one fantastic giveaway! I’m so excited about world BF week, and really psyched about all the positive information being shared, and wonderful support out there. Let’s keep it going strong!

  1119. Claire Rheinheimer says

    My mom has been a huge support as she breastfed 8 babies. However, she is not supportive of tandem nursing my 2 year old son and 2 month old daughter. I’ve gotten a lot of support from my birth group on facebook and the breastfeeding group on cafemom. It’s been interesting to me to read posts on The Leaky boob about others’ struggles and the responses, and occasionally actually being able to offer advice.

  1120. So happy to be a breastfeeding mother!!!

  1121. My daughter is now 29 months, she was exclusively breast fed for the first 12 months. I have nursed her out in public since the day she was born, and continue to do so even though she is approaching 2.5 years old. I think NIP will help normalize and raise awareness, and hopefully make other nursing moms feel comfortable enough to do it for their babies too 🙂

  1122. Laura Ambrogi says

    Wow!! This really is the mother of all giveaways! How fabulous! I learned about so many cool products that I’d never heard of before by reading this post, and now I’m drooling. I’ve been exclusively nursing my son for 4+ months (he won’t even take a bottle of expressed milk!), and plan to continue for as long as he wants. It has been one of the best experiences of my life. <3

  1123. Such a great resource for breastfeeding moms. Thank you!

  1124. I love breastfeeding! I hated dealing with formula with my first two, my younger two are both breastfeed babies! I love it!

  1125. I have breastfed all four of my children and will do the same with #5 due to arrive any day now! I am so looking forward to that nursing relationship once again and miss it in between babies!

  1126. Good luck to everyone!

  1127. lotus methric says

  1128. This is a fantastic giveaway! I’m currently breastfeeding baby #3. I wish I had the online/in person support with my first that is available now. I’m so happy that nursing is becoming more the “norm” as it should be!

  1129. Cassandra says

    Amazing giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity!

  1130. My LO is 17 months old and going strong! I dread the day we end our amazing journey.

  1131. Encouraging Mom’s when they are in a rough spot. It it’s always easy, but having a friend to encourage you means alot!!!

  1132. It’s great to come to a place where it is safe to share the ups and downs. Thanks for the chance to win the awesome giveaway!!

  1133. thank you for offering these great prizes! I have breastfed my two boys, and look forward to bf-ing one or two more future babies! I always commend moms when I see them bf-ing, or moms who work outside of the home who exclusively pump. I am blessed to stay at home but I am super impressed with the moms who go the extra mile to continue to EBF their babies and the dedication they have to pump when outside of the home.

  1134. EBF little boy #2 and loving every minute of it! Wonderful products in this giveaway!

  1135. Lauren Bottoms says

    Breast feeding is the most rewarding thing I’ve eve done, but also the hardest! My daughter is only 3 weeks old and I probably would’ve given up by now if not for the outpouring of support from pages like these! So keep milking it ladies!

  1136. Having breastfeeding support is so important to me! When my first nursling was born we struggled with nipple confusion, which led to loss of supply and failure to thrive; it took A LOT of work to get us back to exclusively breastfeeding after having to supplement (luckily, only for a week) and it could have been so easy to give up if we didn’t have good support. I have personally known more than one mom who has given up breastfeeding early on because of difficulty in the first few weeks and a lack of good information and support on breastfeeding.

  1137. Encouraging and supporting bf’g moms by sharing what a wonderful and challenging journey it has been with both my bubs… I have helped several new moms push through the hard parts and find success. Thanks for a great giveaway.

  1138. My son is almost 8 months old…and our breastfeeding relationship is so wonderful. I love the connection we share, and I am so glad that I have the opportunity to feed my son in the most natural, nutritious way possible. It is our plan to nurse until he doesn’t want to nurse anymore. I attended a Big Latch On event in Okinawa yesterday, and it was SO empowering to see so many beautiful women coming together to nurse their babes in public. I am so proud to be a nursing mommy 🙂

  1139. I’m constantly called “the bf-ing advocate” at work because the ladies always see me pumping, and talking about the benefits. I’m even pumping extra milk for a mom of a 6 month old who stopped breast feeding when I went on maternity leave. She didn’t feel she had the support she needed to continue once she went back. When I gave her my extra milk, her daughter’s constipation ceased, her grumpiness subsided, and she genuinely became a happier baby. When she asked where I found my strength, I directed her to the leaky boob. She is now considering hormone therapy to begin lactating again. Online support seems impersonal. Not like the kind you can get with people in your life. But it truly helps!

  1140. Several women in our county have started a peer mom-to-mom support group to help other women make informed choices about breastfeeding. The public health unit has encouraged this group and is giving support in many ways. We have shared at prenatal groups, offered support by phone, text, email, visits, and we hope to have a group meet-up soon. I’m excited, and thrilled that this year’s WBW theme is peer-to-peer support…perfect!

  1141. Making sure that if someone that is NIP has issues you stand up for them like you would like if someone did the same for you.

  1142. So thankful for the encouragement of other bf mommas. BF was easy breezy with my first 4, but not with #5–double tongue tie. With the encouragement of a local IBCLC and other nursing mommas and info that was shared on TLB, I was able to get through the rough start, find someone to help with his frenectomies and help us relearn the art of nursing. At 29 months, he and I both still cherish bf. I have to pump while at work, and am proud to be able to addvocate for myself, my son, and other nursing/pumping pairs. One of the first time mommas came to me to tell me she had met her goal of 18 months nursing (her goal had started at 1 week, then a month, then 6 months, then 18 months)…she said I was one of the few people she knew how would be excited for her and her daughter and also understand the struggles that she had encountered. Thank you to every momma out there who has taken the time to help another momma.

  1143. Heather Lee says

    When friends, sisters, Aunts and cousins- the women around us, breastfeed with pride and champion the cause it becomes the natural choice for new mothers. As each of us breast feeds our babies proudly and joyfully we are showing mothers to be it is beautiful, natural and enjoyable. Happy breastfeeding to all the Moms and babes!

  1144. Nursing my daughter was one of the best parenting decisions I’ve made so far.

  1145. Heather B. says

    I love seeing other moms nursing in public. Whenever I can, I’ll drop a “Thanks for breastfeeding” card off to them. At a minimum, I’ll share an encouraging smile.

  1146. Theresa J says

    I am so happy that I had my kids through a midwife because I was encouraged to breastfeed. Support is the best thing for new moms

  1147. I love what this site and its supporting Facebook page have done to make me a more confident breast feeding mother. Without it, we likely would not have made it for as long as we have-18 months and going strong!

  1148. Just wanted to show my support for BF. 🙂 I quickly calculated that with 3 kids, I’ve been breastfeeding for 115 months of my life so far! Our youngest is 3.5 years old now and I just nursed her to sleep before I wrote this. The most supportive and encouraging thing for me as a BFing mother was to see my mother, aunt, and sisters BF without hesitation. While I was pregnant with my first baby I also attended a LLL meeting to build a support network of friends and establish a place to find answers to potential issues. I also read the LLL book The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding cover-to-cover the first week after she was born while we were babymooning. It was such a great read and I found answers to issues I would later actually encounter. BF has been an integral part of my mothering journey. BFing helped me to learn great patience and that I was strong in ways I never even knew. BFing also made me be more courageous and led me to think in a way that was even more child-centered. BF also made it clear to me how important it was to slow down and enjoy THIS moment with my baby. EBF was sometimes smooth and easy… sometimes it was really really hard. It was absolutely always worth doing. 🙂 Happy Breastfeeding Week everyone!

  1149. When I got pregnant I knew I wanted to breastfeed. We had a rough start, but it was the support of other moms in church and in a breastfeeding support group that helped me succeed. My son is 12 months now and we still nurse.

  1150. Just keep strong and keep breastfeeding even when it gets hard. Find supportive people to cheer you on or to go to on those hard days. Breastfeeding my son has been the hardest thing I have ever done and the most rewarding experience I have ever had.

  1151. I’m planning to breastfeed my first, due in November. Luckily I’m a NICU RN so I’ve had training on providing breastfeeding support, and we have lactation specialists on staff and a dedicated private pumping room. It will be tough pumping when I go back to work full-time, but my workplace is very pro-breastfeeding.

  1152. britt-marie says

    So thankful to have so much info and support available online. Snuggling my 2-year old who still loves milks and neither of us are in any hurry to quit.

  1153. Kristin Mcdaniel says

    When I started breastfeeding feeding my son I had a very small support system, but along the way I have found so much help and information on the Internet from places like this. My son is now 15 months and doing great. I’m hoping to nurse him throughout my current pregnancy and until he is ready to wean.

  1154. J Bonebrake says

    All four of my children were breastfed and the last one past two years old. Now expecting #5 and this baby will be breastfed as long the baby needs. Thanks for being a great support!

  1155. I am currently nursing my daughter. I think that it is great to support all moms regardless of how they are feeding their babies.

  1156. Breastfeeding my second baby, excellent website with great support for mothers all over the world.
    🙂

  1157. I cannot wait to have my baby and get the wonderful experience of breast feeding. 🙂

  1158. Thank you for the giveaway! EBF’ing my daughter, 6 months, and plan to keep going. Slowing introducing solids. Glad to have TLB for support.

  1159. I love it that Breastfeeding Week is getting all this attention!

  1160. Andrea mcmonagle says

    I’m not a planner, I’m more of a go with the flow type…I never could have fathomed how my , or rather OUR breastfeeding journey would turn out. Who knew we’d still be flowing over 2 & 1/2 years later, into 2 happy lil bellies nonetheless ?! Not I. If my second son nurses as long as my first that puts me at about 5 years in a row of breastfeeding…and somehow I know through the ups and downs of it..one day I will miss booby snuggles, milk comas , and baby booby chin dribble.

  1161. Lindsay Wilson says

    Oh please please please pick me! I am a mom of 3 and a LLL leader, and have been breastfeeding for nearly five years straight.

  1162. My daughter and I have been nursing 2.5 months now, the leaky boob encourages me to continue to a year… or maybe more??? It was so hard at first, but from resources like the leaky boob, I knew I could do it, and then it hit me a few weeks ago, I was no longer nursing because it was best for my baby, but I was nursing because I now enjoyed nursing. The moment of satisfaction came when my daughter intentionally smiled at me for the first time, mid nursing session. It was beautiful and perfect!

  1163. I’m nursing my second baby now. I nursed my son for 2 years and my daughter is currently 5 months. I can’t get over how much more I’ve nursed in public with her than I did with him. Mostly out of necessity, but partly because I’ve received so much support from my husband and friends. I’m also lucky enough to live in Austin, TX, which is a very breastfeeding-friendly city. The smiles and kind words from strangers go a long way to support me.

  1164. I’ve found support online. Having breastfed my oldest for 22 months and still going strong at almost 25 months with my second son, I attend a local breastfeeding support group and share what I’ve learned. I also do my best to make full term breastfeeding normal.

  1165. Awesome giveaway! Looking forward to breastfeeding my little one in sept!

  1166. heather ellis says

    Thank you so much for these awesome prizes! We need to support breastfeeding moms everywhere. I have only one functioning breast and am trying to breastfeed my 5th child, who is exclusively breastfed at 5 mos with a severe lip tie and only one working breast!

  1167. I’m nursing my 3rd baby after 2 failed attempts. No support at all, just doing what is natural and best for my daughter. My best advice is stick to your guns an be strong!

  1168. Woot! Would love to win. Nursing babes for over 3 years now.

  1169. The Hygeia EnJoye pump is amazing! It’s an Eco-friendly, WHO Compliant, Hospital-Grade breast pump. This giveaway would be fantastic with the pump alone. I can’t believe all of the products included! I would love to try them all.

  1170. I’m expecting my first in January. Thanks for the chance to win, and for the informative site!

  1171. Emilie H. says

    I think being comfortable to bf around other moms and future moms is one of the best ways to support others. Because I saw so many of my friends doing it, once it was my turn I had no problems bf in public or in our circle.

  1172. I am spreading awareness by encouraging new moms to breastfeed. Also my husband wasn’t sure about breastfeeding when our son was born and after discussing it he is 100% supportive of breastfeeding until our little Lliam self weans. He is 3 months old and going strong!

  1173. Jessica Dobbs says

    I think having younger mothers being active about the importance of breastfeeding and supporting awareness goes a LONG way. People are having children younger and younger, and it’s become “uncool” to breastfeed, which is SO untrue!

  1174. I just had my first baby 7 weeks ago. We have almost exclusively breastfed, except for her first few days in the hospital where they made me supplement until my milk came in due to very high levels of jaundice. We’ve worked through our share of struggles, but I can’t imagine doing anything but breastfeeding!

  1175. Elizabeth Wilson says

    My daughter and I are still going strong at almost 8 months despite a serious case of jaundice preventin us from get off to the best start breast feeding- or any start, really. We left the hospital on bottles supplementing with formula and after being home for four days I weaned her off the bottles and onto the breast on my own. The doctors wanted us to continue supplementing for at least two weeks but I knew any longer and we would probably never breast feed. I had done my research. If I can do it on my own then with all of the resources available I feel almost anyone can succeed at breast feeding!!! You get what you give 🙂

    We’ve had over supply, under supply, pressure to switch to formula from family and friends of family, and sabotage by my MIL and we are still going strong. We will stop when she is ready and that’s the end of it.

  1176. Ruth Haveland says

    I’ve done peer support training and have now been to a fair few peer support groups, having mums that know what you are going through, the highs and the lows, the smiles and the cuppas, it’s motherhood together, and some of us are breastfeeding longer than we ever thought we could due to these groups 🙂

  1177. Currently ebf’ing my just over 6 month old son. We had a tough go of it at the begining. He was already 8 hours old by the time I got him to latch. He was 5 weeks early so he was in the nursery for his breathing at first. We came home and were still struggling, so a call into our hospitals lactation consultant, who is available at no charge to all moms that deliver there. We went in to see her and found he had a class one tongue tie, and I had an over supply on top of it all which he couldn’t keep up with. As a first time mom I had tears and doubts that I wasn’t going to make it breast feeding. Without the support from my hospital and well a a good friend who has just had her first child a few weeks before me, I’m not sure I would have. We feed on demand, and love every minute of it now, and I have my friend and our lactation consultant to thank for that!

  1178. Breastfeeding for 13 months and still going strong! I have done a complete 180 about breastfeeding. I was unsure about it prior to having my daughter and now I love it and don’t want to stop. It has amazed me how passionate I feel about breastfeeding! Good luck to all the new moms out there!

  1179. Laura Ambrogi says
  1180. I try to let other women know the resources I’ve had (internet, WIC lactation consultant), nurse in public, and make sure those around me know I’m open to non-judgemental discussion of the matter. If a child approaches me while I nurse, I answer them honestly if they are curious and make sure to keep it polite in regards to bottle feeding. I personally have had the support of my mother-in-law, and my husband, to help me out.

  1181. I nursed my first until 13 months and my second until 16 months. Both self-weaned when I got pregnant and lost my supply (I’m working of growing my third nursling now!). Extended breastfeeding is not something that’s typically done within my group of family and friends, so supportive online communities really helped normalize breastfeeding for me and encourage me to keep on at it! Through that, I’ve been able to provide support and sound advice through my experience to friends of mine who have since become moms, and they are enjoying the breastfeeding experience more than they ever expected to. Breastfeeding support is crucial to a mom’s success in reaching her goals, and I’m so grateful to have learned that lesson early on!

  1182. What a great giveaway! I nursed my DD for 26 months, and i’m at 15 months with my DS, still going strong. I’m a big proponent of supporting other breastfeeding moms or soon to be moms. One of my top recommendations is the Leaky Boob site 🙂

  1183. Jennifer K. C. says

    An awesome giveaway. I will be 10months BFing tomorrow!

  1184. soooooo excited that i found this great resource for bf! looking forward to bf baby #1 in january!

  1185. christine says

    Such wonderful gifts to help with our wonderful gift!!

  1186. Congratulations to all breastfeeding moms for doing the best thing for your baby! Keep up the good work and support another mom who is or thinking about breastfeeding!

  1187. In addition to having two wonderful lactation consultants, what I found most helpful was having a few friends who gave me permission to call at anytime with any breastfeeding question no matter how silly it may seem. I took them up on that offer and it helped make me and my nursing successful. I am forever grateful.

  1188. Addie Alvarez says

    This giveaway is AMAZING!! Thank you!

  1189. This is a fantastic giveaway! I would love to win!

  1190. 23 Months and going strong (: special needs too!

  1191. I offer support to all my pregnant friends. Tell them that they will be busy with a baby so let me help find LC’s. I also tell them that not all LC’s are created equal. I give “thank you for feeding your baby” cards to moms i see bfing in public 🙂 I BF for 3 years and want other moms to know that joy.

  1192. I breastfed my first until just after her first birthday, she decided she was done and weaned herself very suddenly. My second will be one this month and isn’t showing signs of slowing down or stopping! My third is due in December, so we’ll see how that goes :]

  1193. Mackenzie Witman says

    Would love to win! I have a lot of pregnant friends and I could give some of these items to them! I really need a new carrier, my baby is not liking my mei tai. neither is my back!

  1194. I am still pregnant, but my due date is the 24th and I am so glad to have found this giveaway! Lots of amazing prizes! I plan on EBF and cannot wait to use this site along with other websites to obtain the information I need to successfully breast feed. Thank you for this site!

  1195. Cassandra says

    I nurse in public, I know first hand a comment of encouragement and pride for a nursing mother can help a momma tremendously. You never know if a mom is nearing her wits end with nursing, and your comment of kudos can bump them right out of that funk. 🙂

  1196. I love that I can go to TLB for support and community. Feeling like you are not alone in nursing is such a HUGE help.

  1197. I guess the best way to show support and raise awareness about breastfeeding is to lead by example, or at least that is how I am doing it. I am currently breastfeeding my third child. I have been blessed with the ability to breastfeed all three of my children, but I know that not everyone is able to breastfeed. I think that we should support one another as mothers without judging choices, because you never know someones circumstances. I breastfeed my children in public without apology and have been fortunate to have never come in contact with people who would take issue.

  1198. I think that supporting other BFing mommy’s is the biggest thing we can do! I think people stop breastfeeding because they aren’t supported! Hopefully every breastfeeding mommy has a friend to call 🙂

  1199. Leaky boob rocks! I just found your site and there is such a wealth of information. It’s nice to have sites like these with other like minded mommies to support you in a world where its not the popular option to bf.

  1200. Katie Pitcher says

    Nursing in public helps raise awareness for me. It’s been much easier the second time around 🙂

  1201. katherine d says

    Thank goodness for this page’s hard work to promote breastfeeding – the moms of the new generations needs to realize how important it is!

  1202. “It takes a village to raise a child” starts from birth. I never would have lasted past my first 2 weeks of bf with baby number one without all my local support. But, not everyone has access to the bf clinic I attended. TLB helps provide women support wherever they are. We have sexualized breasts to the point that bf is unacceptable. I’m so glad TLB is doing its part to change that image.

  1203. This site has just a wealth of information and it’s so nice to see a community of breastfeeding mothers supporting each other in such a positive way.

  1204. Natalie pasquale says

    Love this giveaway!

  1205. I’m EBF my now 5 and change month daughter. We have had our struggles with her abysmal latch and severe upper lip tie. We are, however, going strong with no plans to quit anytime soon.
    I would not be continuing to BF if it wasn’t for an amazing group of mamas that support me and my decisions as well as sites like this that provide information and encouragement!

  1206. So glad to have found this site. 🙂

  1207. Helping other mamas makes me happy!

  1208. Peer support is so important. I find that breastfeeding can be very isolating (pumping at work, feeding a distracted baby in a quiet room away from the “fun”), so having a community who knows what that is like is SO important to me. We need to celebrate each other’s victories and milestones and be each others cheerleaders.

  1209. I still struggle with breastfeeding my 10 week old but with such great support and information I am sticking this out as long as possible. Thank you

  1210. I am a Nurse Practitioner and am often encouraging pregnant moms to explore breastfeeding. It is so important for new moms to have breastfeeding support and accurate information. I appreciate what you do and look forward to breastfeeding my first born sometime in the next month.

  1211. I have breastfeed my lo for 15 months and it has been the best experience for me. Having a strong support system has been the biggest help for me. At first I was uncomfortable nursing in public, but all it took was a few kind words from a stranger to remind me that I was doing what was best for my lo and I shouldn’t be ashamed. I am looking into becoming a doula or lactation consultant to help other women.

  1212. What an awesome giveaway! So glad to be a part of such a great bf community :).

  1213. Single mom hoping I win this AWESOME GIVEAWAY!!!!!

  1214. Valerie gonzalez says

    Someone saying you’re doing a good job is a huge support. So is just other moms saying that they breastfeed, too.

  1215. Awesome, ladies! Thank you for all your work.

  1216. Breastfeeding support helped me get through the very difficult first two months.

  1217. Bfing support online really encouraged me with my first son. I was dedicated to making it work but in those painful sleepless nights it helped to know it wasn’t just me and to get some advice.

  1218. A kind word or just a smile from a friend or stranger really goes a long ways to encourage moms to keep breastfeeding. I know it has really helped me feel more comfortable nursing in public.

  1219. Kelly Timmer says

    Thanks to breastfeeding support we are going 6 months strong! We appreciate ALL you ladies do to help this community!

  1220. This website has been awesome in my breastfeeding journey! Keep up the good work!!!

  1221. online support has helped me with my struggles and advice

  1222. This is an awesome giveaway thank you for helping all mothers breastfeed!

  1223. I support and encourage other breastfeeding moms by answering their questions, sharing my experiences, and pointing them towards support pages and organization. I also blog about breastfeeding, am working on a photo display of nursing pics at a local museum and have pose for another one and always participate in events such as the Big Latch On.

  1224. Christina Howell says

    I support breastfeedng by not being ashamed that I do it. I also try to make other nursing moms feel comfortable by smiling at them. I also stick up for breastfeeding moms whenever I hear people saying negative things about them.

  1225. My breastfeeding support group was so helpful for all my ups and downs. They helped me to succeed and I was able to extend nurse for 3 years and 9 months! Now my new daughter in law is expecting her first baby, my first grand baby, due in November! I will be there to give her encouraging words and offer any support she will need to see that she also succeeds in breastfeeding. I’m entering this contest so if I win I can give these things to her. Thank you for the chance.

  1226. I blog about my BFing experience as a support for other moms.

  1227. Kim Winter says

    I nursed my son til 18 months and my daughter is 25 months and still nursing. It’s the encouraging words from friends that help me continue on. I try my best to help others choose breast feeding and support those who are nursing to keep going.

  1228. I’d love to receive a breastfeeding prize pack! I am a mother of four, I breastfed my older kids each until they were a little over two-years-old and am currently exclusively breastfeeding 5-month-old twins! I am so grateful for the support I have received from other moms experienced in breastfeeding and lactation nurses-I’ve had my challenges, but thanks to their help I’ve been successful! I am always happy to share my knowledge and experiences with new moms and encourage them to keep on as they face their own challenges.

  1229. Amazing prize packages!

  1230. This is an amazing giveaway, would love to win this for the new baby!!!

  1231. Great website and blog – thank you for all that you do to support breastfeeding – Yay for boobies! Great turn to for education and support – creating a safe and supportive place for discussions 🙂

  1232. Amazing prizes! Thanks for the giveaway! I would love to win, new baby due in less than 20 days!

  1233. Christina says

    I think there is a great support network online. I love spreading my love of breast feeding with my friends. I’ve encouraged new momma friends to keep up the good work and have helped troubleshoot at times. Thanks for an awesome giveaway!

  1234. Nicole Nieves says

    I had a high school friend who was very supportive when family was not. But honestly it was TLB and other online sources that offered the most support. I knew the breastfeeding was what was best but I needed to convince my family. Online support gave me the knowledge and confidence to breastfeed my LO for 29 months!

  1235. Most of the support I have gotten has been from family and friends. Being able to feed my little one when I’m around my family and close friends has been wonderfully relaxing.

  1236. I’m expecting #2 in October and can’t wait to start breastfeeding again! Looking forward to networking with other breastfeeding moms in my community so we can support each other too

  1237. I am currently nursing a 19 1/2 month old and I can’t wait to nurse #2!

  1238. I support breastfeeding families & raise awareness through LLL.

  1239. Sheena Hallmark says

    Whenever I see a Mommy nursing her babe in public I am sure to give her an encouraging smile. I have received many snarky looks while out. Like breastfeeding isn’t difficult enough sometimes, we don’t need and discouragement! There should never be any shame in providing the best for you baby! 🙂

  1240. I am a big advocate of breastfeeding. I have had the pleasure of breastfeeding all 4 of my babies and they have grown to be such healthy children. I am lucky to have had this fantastic bonding experience with all 4 of them. Thank you for this amazing giveaway and site!

  1241. Kate Millott says

    Websites like “The Leaky Boob” have been such a tremendous amount of support for me during my breastfeeding journey. It is so wonderful to have access to great info and others experiences right on the internet. Thanks for all that you do!

  1242. Kathy Laird says

    My daughter has been breastfeeding my grand daughter for 20 months now and she is pregnant with her second. She will also be breastfeeding the second baby girl also! I wish that I could have breastfed my two children! I am so glad that there is so much more support!

  1243. shannon stirling says

    so amazing to so many people so excited about breastfeeding!

  1244. Looking forward to when nursing becomes more acceptable since all of the science shows how important it is. 🙂

  1245. I’m pregnant with my third, and I’m really looking forward to breastfeeding again. I breastfed my oldest for one year, and my second for 15 months. It’s been a great experience both times! These are amazing gift packages!

  1246. I have been reading everything I can to learn about breastfeeding and to find support. My son and I weren’t able to BF for a number of reasons. I’m pregnant again and doing everything I can to do better this time around. I would LOVE one of these. I think this would really help a lot.

  1247. Thanks to breastfeeding support I am breastfeeding baby number 3 almost 14 months strong now and was able to breastfeed for 15mths for each of my first two! Breastfeeding Moms need lots of encouragement and this is all of the supporters of this giveaway are great places to find it! THANK YOU

  1248. Catherine says

    i have been blessed with many local friends who are as passionate about extended bf as I am, which has been such a gift. I am currently nursing our third child (2 months old), after nursing both of his brothers until around 2 years. The lactation consultants at our local hospital have been a source of incredible support, as well. Also, just being confident in my own decision to ebf – if I don’t bat an eye when nip, then chances are that no one else will, either. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

  1249. What an amazing giveaway! When I had my first child I gave up breastfeeding at 8 weeks because it was too hard to pump at work and I didn’t like using a cover when actually nursing. Boy how times have changed. I’m now on baby #6 and I pop it out whenever needed to feed my little guy. I’m so grateful for those that helped me to be confident feeding my baby in the best way possible!

  1250. Wow. Thank you for being such a great breastfeeding resource and now for introducing me to so many great products! I’m only six weeks in to my first adventure in breastfeeding; thanks for proving so many resources and so much information.

  1251. I breastfed my first kid for 14 months with ample supply, no latch problems, plenty of sleep. Thought I had it all figured out. She weaned on her own when my supply began to dwindle with my second pregnancy and moved on to “bites” with the greatest of ease. So, imagine my surprise when, 12 months into nearly exclusive breastfeeding my second kid I develop a crazy severe case of unilateral (thank goodness) mastitis. No matter how “natural”, easy, or simple breastfeeding seems we could all use kind words, a helping hand, and a nice, long nap.

  1252. Kendal Barriere says

    My husband and I had a pact before baby #1 that we wouldn’t let me quit (nursing), even when it/if it got tough. It got a little tough, but we stuck it out to a year with one and two, and now a third on the way. Totally worth the pain, tears, and sacrifice. 🙂

  1253. Currently expecting twins, hearing success stories of other moms who have successfully nursed twins gives me so much encouragement. So thankful for the internet & sites like this!

  1254. Sara Galloway says

    This is insane! Never have I seen so many wonderful items in a giveaway!

  1255. When my daughter was born last August, I knew I wanted to breastfeed but I really hadn’t thought about how long. I started shooting for 6 months, then a year. Now I don’t see us stopping anytime soon. My family isn’t very supportive of my breastfeeding (they don’t oppose it, they just don’t see the point) but luckily my husband, and mommy/daddy friends are all for it!

  1256. Amy Murphy says

    I think the two biggest things any of us can do to help promote breastfeeding is to 1. Do it in public. and 2. Be loving and encouraging to all moms, whether they are breast or bottle-feeding. Because that currently bottle-feeding mom may just be more open to breastfeeding after knowing you!

  1257. I love that this site and others are helping to normalize breastfeeding and it gives me the courage I need to continue NIP.

  1258. Love this giveaway and all of the amazing products!

  1259. Thank you for being a place that offers support and helps us learn. It has been so great to read what everyone else has gone through and is helping me to make me less nervous about being a new mom and first time breastfeeder. Thanks again!

  1260. I only wish I had been able to find something like this when I had my first daughter. Nursing did not work for many reasons, but I’m happy to report that I nursed my 2nd for almost 14 months and am currently nursing my 3rd who is almost 9 months old.

  1261. Great giveaway! Excited and nervous to bf my first, due at the end of this month. Thankful for resources like this site!

  1262. I love my local support groups for help with bf’ing challenges. Now nursing my third son, and would love to win one of these prize packages!

  1263. Yes, please!! What an awesome giveaway. I’m kind of a loner when it comes to breastfeeding. Not many women in my family have been able to breastfeed and I don’t really have any mommy friends right now, so pages like this are AWESOME to get support and advice. LOVE.

  1264. With the support from nurses and lactation consultants and my family I was able to nurse my son until he was 15 months old and self weened because I was pregnant. I hope I can find just as much support with baby number 2. Breastfeeding is such a beautiful and natural thing!

  1265. willowsprite says

    I think support is so important! I didn’t really get much with my babies. I ended up quitting nursing very early with my first two, but we just had a daughter a few weeks ago and I powered through (on my own) and I am thrilled to say that it is actually working for me this time!

  1266. Kristine Laird says

    What an awesome giveaway! I’ve been nursing my toddler for just over 20 months now. Baby #2 is due in December and I plan to nurse them also! It’s so nice to have somewhere to come where no one judges me for my decision to participate in extended breastfeeding, can ask questions and receive nothing but support and to see so many other breastfeeding advocates. It’s truly encouraging!

  1267. Knowing other moms who’ve BTDT helped me wade through (i.e. IGNORE) the doctors who thought baby wasn’t getting enough and needed supplementation in the first day before my milk came in, who thought I should use formula to make a 6-week-old sleep through the night, have confidence to feed my baby when and where I need to, and be proud of doing the very best think I can do for my almost-toddler. I wish our culture would change to assume BF instead of formula, but until then, bring on the support!

  1268. What do I tell new moms about BFing? Never give up on your worst day and set small manageable goals!

  1269. I’m happy to see there is more online support for breastfeeding! Started with my first 10 years ago and ready to do it again soon with my third child.

  1270. It took 4 long months to build a breastfeeding relationship with my late-term preemie daughter after her NICU stay and here we are at 19 months, going strong, with another baby on the way! I may end up tandem nursing! I couldn’t have done it with out the amazing support of some truly amazing lactation consultants and online communities of women sharing their own struggles and triumphs. Encouragement and constant reassurance that you can do it is what every mother trying to breastfeed needs to hear.

  1271. The first time I ever saw anyone breastfeeding, I was already twenty years old. My son was already one and exclusively on formula due to a traumatic c section. I knew next to nothing and I had no support. since then the woman I first saw bfing her daughter has become my “mommy guru” and shared so much of her amazing knowledge with me. Thanks to her, your page and Jade Beall photography I am proud to say I am exclusively breastfeeding my six month old and sharing the knowledge as best I can and will continue to full term! Through awareness and support we will start a reveloution. Our daughters will never feel shamed by nourishing their children and our sons will never feel uncomfortable at the images of a woman feeding his son. thank you so much for such amazing support. I don’t know anyone my age who breastfeeds but I never feel alone. Spread the word, boobs are in.

  1272. Stephanie says

    Thanks for the great giveaway! We’re at 8.5 months and loving how close I am with my baby boy

  1273. What a wonderful resource of information! I am expecting my first baby this fall and plan to breastfeed. This website and the other sites you have partnered up with are really helpful for new moms like myself!

  1274. What an amazing giveaway! Hope I’m lucky.

  1275. This would be amazing to win. My little one is 13wo and my sister justvhad a little man of her own two weeks ago. We would love to share all of these goodies.

  1276. Nursing out in public, around my kids and their friends, has made other moms feel more comfortable doing it too. I’m a LLL leader so that helps also 😉

  1277. This is an awesome giveaway! I am reaching EBF for 6 months tomorrow with my second child and plan to nurse much much longer! This would be great!

  1278. Connecting with breastfeeding mamas online has been very helpful – a judgement free zone full of support – even for me as an expectant mama.

  1279. amy rouse says

    I’ve encouraged my two daughters and my daughter in law all to nurse, and I’ve tried to support them when they’ve had struggles to keep going and let nature take it’s course!!!

  1280. I love nursing, but hate trying to dress for it! I thank God for all the online support pages to keep me going when the hospital tries urging you to use formula. Stay strong Mamas!

  1281. Thanks for posting a great giveaway! Big breastfeeding supporter; nursed my son until 28 weeks; looking forward to round two with my daughter (expected 11/2013)!!!

  1282. Emily Tremblayq says

    The other day a nurse congratulated me for still BF my 7 month old son, although I wouldn’t want it any other way, it felt great to have this encouragement. Sometimes its hard to face the negativity that surrounds breastfeeding (especially in public) so support systems (people, resources, encouragement, etc) are important.

  1283. Amazing giveaway! Love the boobies!

  1284. Def being there for other moms who may not have had it as easy as you is a great thing. I was fortunate enough to have no real problems breast feeding. But have had many friends and acquaintances that did or do. I have always tried to be supportive and help out in any way I can so they won’t get discouraged. Online communities I also think are an invaluable resource to a first time mom and even second and third and so on. 🙂

  1285. Awesome giveaway!

  1286. Good luck to all breastfeeding moms! Wishing you lots of healthiness and happiness!

  1287. I BF my daughter for 8 months before she weaned herself. I’m pg with #2 and I’m hoping to EBF this time and not have to supplement. I also would love to go at least a full year. I’m so excited about this giveaway!

  1288. My encouragement is to not give up too easily. My son was in the NICU but I pumped to give him colostrum and breast milk via feeding tube. Then they put in a permanent feeding tube and I decided to continue to pump. It wasn’t easy, but I was able to keep it. For 11 months! We supplemented when we needed to, and in the last few months we gradually reduced how many meals a day were breast milk, but he was getting at least one meal of breast milk all the way to his first birthday.

    If you do have to supplement or even give it up completely, and you know you’ve really given it all you can and keep your sanity, then don’t feel guilty. Sanity is worth a lot when you have a small one.

  1289. I didn’t have much of a support system when I was learning to breastfeed my daughters. I wasn’t able to EBF my first daughter due to lack of support and my own ignorance, but I made sure I knew what to do the second time around. I read books, read a bunch of online articles, and joined online support groups. I am now a big supporter of breastfeeding and I try to help out as many mommy friends as i can with words of encouragement and online resources.

  1290. April Bright says

    I nursed mt first son for 21 months and now my second son for almost 6 months now. Our goal is 2 years. I couldn’t have done it without constant support from my husband, mom, family, friends, and the online community. In the beginning, I was constanly on TLB on FB reading through the questions all the other nursing mommas had and they were all my questions too! Support is essential for success. Even if you’re doing ok, it’s always nice to get a compliment from someone that you’re doing a good job!

  1291. When I had my first child, I had a small breastfeeding goal, I had no idea I would love it so much! Thanks to online support I also became more aware of the benefits for both me and my babies. 🙂

  1292. I try to nurse in public as much as I can to let other people know it’s totally normal and make other mom’s feel comfortable doing so. If I see another mama struggling and feeling uncomfortable I will go and smile and sit close and nurse with her so she doesn’t feel so alone.

  1293. kristielynn says

    I have a newborn baby and so far all is going well. My goal is to nurse for at least a year, but I think I’m just going to keep nursing until she weans herself. (Ok hopefully I don’t have a preschooler still nursing, but you get it!)

  1294. I encouraging breastfeeding by nursing my little guy in public and openly talking about breastfeeding. I also recently gave a soon-to-be mom a set of BamBoobies as a baby shower gift. I love my BamBoobies and UnderCover Mama tops!

  1295. Michelle L says

    I help spread awareness by breastfeeding in public, talking and answering questions on FB forums, talking to my friends and family about breastfeeding, sharing tips, and by working with local LC’s to help educate other moms together.

  1296. Breast feeding is such a fundamental part of my relationship with my children. I really don’t know what I would do if I was one of these moms who could not nurse her baby! Being able to continue to nourish my baby after birth really helped with the separation anxiety.

  1297. So much great info and lots of products I never even knew about!

  1298. Cassandra Kelton says

    I knew from a very young age that I would nurse my children one day but I never knew how hard it could be until I had my daughter. I knew there was no way I would give up but it hurt so bad and I had oversupply issues and had to feed her pumped milk in a bottle for a while at first because she had this awful latch… Finding support online really helped me get through it without going crazy and I was finally able to fix our issues having found the help and knowledge I was missing. I now do what I can to help others in local support groups. Baby is nineteen months old now and an avid nurser. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

  1299. Currently breastfeeding my 4th little one and 5 months along today 🙂 its great to have such supportive family members that understand and encourage. you would think after 4 kids, the hubby would be used to me breastfeeding in public but it still makes HIM uncomfortable. Oh well.

  1300. What a great place to get BF support! This is fantastic! This is such a great opportunity for BF moms and also a great way for moms to get encouragement when they start breastfeeding. This will be my go to place as an adoptive momma wanting to BF! Happy World Breastfeeding Week.

  1301. Thanks so much for an awesome giveaway! I breastfed my now two year old for the first five months, but then had to stop. I’m hoping to BF the next longer (due Jan 2014!). I’m so grateful for all the support I received from such an awesome community of women.

  1302. Wow. Amazing giveaway. I couldn’t have made it over two years (and counting) without mother-to-mother support. Both giving and receiving… and having… and sharing… (anyone?)

  1303. I nursed my first for 27 months and am weeks (days?) away from nursing my second. I couldn’t have done it without the early support of my midwives and then the support of my friends, family, and wonderful daycare providers as my son got older. I can’t wait to start again!

  1304. jill Clark says

    My current nursling is 7 months. I hope nursing her in public looks as easy and effortless as it is and normalizes breastfeeding for others so more moms will choose the best for their babies!

  1305. What a great giveaway!! Thank you for putting this together. 🙂
    Happy WBW!

  1306. This is an amazing giveaway 🙂 Thank you! Breastfeeding my son is a great experience, these goodies can only make it better!

  1307. I am looking forward to all the special cozy times breastfeeding my new baby (#3) in less than 3 months. It is so wonderful to be able to nourish your baby without sterilizing bottles, heating anything up, or taking any time to get it ready.

  1308. I definitely think its important to show support to moms trying to breastfeed, all of the unsolicited advice I got in the first few weeks made me feel like I was doing it all wrong. Just the gentle encouragement from
    My husband helped me continue, and here we are still (dry) nursing at 20 months, with another due in December! I’m thankful for all the kind words I received from people who saw I was struggling

  1309. I’ve nursed both of my daughters and am excited about your products giveaway in support of breastfeeding mothers.

  1310. Alexandra Willetts says

    Love competitions like this, not for the prizes ( they are a bonus) but helps find fantastic bloggers xx

  1311. Thank you!! I am so excited about this giveaway!!

  1312. I love feeding my daughter! and the special bond we have because of it. It is so important to support and promote breastfeeding because it helps to normalize the issue.

  1313. Jessica D'Atri says

    This giveaway is SO amazing! Everything a BFing mother could need! #4 is due in October, and this could really be useful. What a good way to get the BFing word spread!

  1314. awesome giveaway!

  1315. This giveaway is great! Love all the breastfeeding support!

  1316. I’m getting ready for baby # 2 any day now! nursed #1 for 23 months. I needed a lot of info as we had a rough start in that department, everyone in my life was very supportive but what i needed was information. Ended up reading the LLL book cover to cover 😉 great stuff and the internet, you all for example… very helpful. I think its great that there are support systems like this and others…. I try to encourage everyone I know and say positive things to new moms, breastfeeding is so important. I always offer advice for anything but I see many not nurse or give up for reasons that could have been overcome :/ thats tough to see and hard on them. I cant wait to get back into the swing of caring for my baby 🙂

  1317. Breastfeeding support is so, so important and resources like the Leaky Boob are invaluable. Thanks for doing what you do!

  1318. Melissa A says

    I try to support other BFing moms (my nursling will be 14 months next week) by answering questions and trying to give advice when they feel discouraged. All of my IRL mommy friends with older kids weren’t able to breastfeed or weren’t able to for very long, so I try to be the resource for our friends with younger ones and for a lot of my online friends!

  1319. Community blossomed into friendship for me while nursing my first son – connecting with a fabulous LC who was also my LLL leader, attending a BF support group and later creating a playgroup where we all nursed our babies, toddlers, and now younger siblings … I think community is what it’s all about! Let’s all focus on creating that community for those who struggle, those who do not, and those who know nothing about what it’s like to nurse a baby. <3

  1320. This give away is a great idea, im a lactavist through and through 🙂

  1321. Sammie Dekan says

    Love the support!!! Great package for any mom!!

  1322. This is a great giveaway. Will be a first time mom expecting in October.

  1323. Love it! Thanks for doing this!

  1324. Wow! This is such a great giveaway! I’m a first time Mom and this site has been such an encouragement! Thanks!!!!

  1325. Online communities have been vital for my determination to continue breastfeeding through difficulties with Raynaud’s. We can do so mch when we empower and support eachother!

  1326. I found The Leaky Boob three years ago searching for a recipe for lactation cookies! Still my favorite recioe and love everything else, too!

  1327. Stephanie Marble says

    This is so awesome! I’m EBF my 6wo & we were just having a discussion about gift registering. Ever notice how no one ever buys BF friendly items? I think this is awesome considering how expensive some products are now a day. Would love to win this 🙂

  1328. Laura Frazier says

    So many must-have items in this giveaway!!

  1329. What a great giveaway!

  1330. While pregnant, success with breastfeeding was one of my biggets worries. I knew it was a natural thing, but I also knew of so many mothers who struggled endlessly with breastfeeding. I’ve been blessed to find great success with breastfeeding with my new daughter, and I owe a large part of that to all the online outlets available (The Leaky Boob!) plus local support groups and seeing other breastfeeding mothers tend to their children when duty calls.

  1331. Awesome Giveaway!

  1332. About to start a course to become a volunteer breastfeeding counselor, but a supportive smile goes a long, long way to a mother nursing in public. It’s the little things that can count most!

  1333. Samantha F. says
  1334. I love the giveaway. Anytime I meet another new mom who is nursing, I always want to high-five them. 🙂

  1335. Raising awareness is so important – esp with new mothers who are so nervous about it. It’s just not something you teach kids or teens about any more, so new mothers are typically VERY hesitant about it all! awareness is good!

  1336. Mellissa Crandall says

    I am proud to say I support Breastfeeding Anywhere Anytime. This giveaway is perfect for a perfect cause.

  1337. Great giveaway. I am a lactation consultant, mother of 4 (including twins), and a LLL Leader. I support moms with my knowledge and experience to help them overcome breastfeeding challenges and define their own success.

  1338. So many young moms I know chose not to breastfeed for selfish reasons, like “It’s weird” or “I won’t be able to do what I want to do” and I have really tried to encourage them to do some research on the benefits for their child. I have also shared my low supply story and how I persevered to fix it and succeeded.

  1339. I love seeing mothers supporting mothers. Especially in choices that are not always the easiest to make.

  1340. I always try to make sure that even if others make an alternative choice that they know that I chose breastfeeding because I thought it was the best choice for me and my baby and that one day is better than no days.

  1341. Tiffany Smith says

    I’m so excited about this give away!! I am ebf my 4 month old ds!! I love being able to bf & would love these awesome prizes that can help to continue longer, my plan is to nurse till around 2!!

  1342. Jennifer Finnegan says

    Love this giveaway! Thanks for everything you do!

  1343. Great giveaway!

  1344. What an amazing giveaway! I love your blog an everything you do thank you!!

  1345. The items in this giveaway look wonderful. Thank your for all that you do to support breastfeeding. I’m past 6 months now BFing!

  1346. Breastfed my 1st until 2 yrs old after a c-section and milk supply issues and still nursing baby #2 at 20 months!

  1347. lauren michele says

    my doula was such a huge support in the early days and now that i’m about three months in, i couldn’t do all the breastfeeding that i do without the support of my incredible husband!

  1348. Nichole C. says

    Such an awesome giveaway!

  1349. Breastfeeding support will hopefully get me to my one year goal.

  1350. Carmen Van Deursen says

    The more we nurse in public the easier it will be for others to accept it and just be a normal everyday thing. I like that we can choose accessories like the lovely scarf that’s part of the giveaway to make more comftarble for us moms.

  1351. Anastasia says

    I would just like to say this giveaway is a wonderful thing you could do for struggling mothers such as myself and the encouragement you bring us breastfeeding moms is spectacular.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH!

  1352. Victoria Savo says

    Just a kind word of encouragement is the perfect support for any breastfeeding mom 🙂

  1353. Elizabeth says

    I struggled breastfeeding my first baby and ended up Unnecessarily supplementing and starting solid early due to lack of knowledge and support. My breastfeeding relationship with my second child has been amazing because it was easier to find the information I needed through so many groups and websites on Facebook! Thanks!

  1354. Rachel Kate says

    Offering a hand, a seat, or just a smile can go a long way in letting a stranger know you support and encourage her hard work and investment in breastfeeding. When there are new moms in our circle of friends and family, I gently ask how thing are going, offer to lend some of our favorite helpful items, and let them know what I learned in the first week of bf’ing our Baby No. 1: This is not easy. But dang, is it good.

  1355. Great giveaway! would be great for my first breastfeeding experience!

  1356. Nicole DiGrazia says

    I think the more educated we are about breast feeding, the more our children will see long term benefits. Health-wise and intelectually.

  1357. Jennifer Kreisler says

    I learned right before my first child was born that the first Breastfeeding experience actually helps to seal the newborn’s intestines. Science is amazing! Nature is amazing! I love the fact that with nursing my sons I never had dishes to do or anything to take along when I went out.
    There are a lot of struggles that one can look for with breastfeeding, but I think there are more daily struggles when not doing it.

    I wish there were an easier way to support mommies who BF. You can’t just walk up to someone during their private quiet time and say “way to go!”

    I have talked to several people who compare how long they BF to how long another person did. I’d say dont! Even if a mama does it that first time they made the best decision for their new child. Every meal is another healthy loving decision. 6 weeks, 6 months, 2 years….. whatever anyone does is worth the positive feedback and support from one another.

    Way to go! To all moms…. one day at a time!

  1358. What a great contest and website! I am still breastfeeding at 2years….

  1359. Holly fetter says

    I have a super-supportive husband, and communities like this are crucial for giving moms confidence to breast feed! I love my nursing relationship with my 31 and 6 month old boys!

  1360. My daughter is almost 2 and we have had the blessing of many moms donating breast milk to us. If I was to win this giveaway I would give it to many of the moms who have helped my daughter have a healthy start in life.

  1361. So much love and support for breastfeeding mothers, I just love that I have a place to go and lift my spirits when I’m having a rough day BFing my LO

  1362. Stefanie S. says

    It’s my son’s first birthday today and we are still nursing! We’d love any of these prize packs!

  1363. I just found out we are expecting! I plan to breastfeed until we are both ready to stop. I am lucky enough to live in an area where it’s completely normal for a mother to breastfeed whenever and wherever.

  1364. What a great giveaway! What else could you need to BF your child? I supported BF by nursing my daughter in public and as long as possible and hopefully by sharing my experiences with other moms.

  1365. Amanda Betts says

    I love to give an encouraging smile to a mama when I see her breastfeeding in public. With my first it took me awhile to feel comfortable doing that. Now with my second I do it all the time. 🙂

  1366. Anna Parks says

    I’m so thankful to the few people that have supported my decision to extended breastfeed. It does make it much more difficult when you don’t have support. I know I have some family members that are very ignorant.

  1367. Breastfeeding is hard; a little moral support goes a long way!

  1368. I’m looking to breastfeed my first born due in October! This giveaway is great, I’ll need all the support I can get.

  1369. What an awesome giveaway! As a new mom-to-be, I am starting to research more about my choice to breastfeed and feel so empowered to do so. This giveaway would be such an amazing addition to helping me kickstart my process with my new little girl in a few weeks.

  1370. Sarah Schiro says

    Wow! I want to win this giveaway! My son and I had a rocky start with breastfeeding. Now I seriously love it. I have a ready made excuse to retreat and snuggle my baby anytime I want. He is so adoring. Breastfeeding is seriously the most rewarding experience. I’m a huge advocate and so thankful for all the support I got during those first hard months.

  1371. What a fabulously generous giveaway! Thanks for the chance!

  1372. Trisha Berens says

    I have been nursing for 6 years straight between three children and am excited to keep continuing to do so as we are expecting in Dec and am nursing my soon to be 3yo through the pregnancy. 🙂 Amazing journey that can be tough at times, but so worth it. 🙂

  1373. Courtney Templeton says

    Thanks for all the information you share on the site. So helpful!

  1374. Breastfeeding is the most incredible, magical thing I have ever done. I love helping new moms succeed with their own breastfeeding journey. Rarely is it easy, but all the best things are usually the hardest

  1375. What an awesome giveaway to support any breastfeeding mama! I am crossing my fingers that my name is pulled but I am so excited for anyone that wins. What a great bunch of helpful products!

  1376. Go breastfeeding!

  1377. Sarah Untersee says

    Encouragement from family and friends has been so important!! Also finding a supportive online community. I also think a Knowledgeable childcare provider is critical. Without these things, I wouldn’t be able to work full time & still EBF.

  1378. Tara thomason says

    Amazing giveaway!!
    Breastfed my firstborn for 16 months and plan on goin at least that Long if not longer with my now 7 month old second child!

  1379. Kristen Dant says

    Breastfeeding is not always easy, but it is wonderful for baby, mom, and a budget! I get super sad when my babies wean – I love the cuddle time.

    I’m glad programs like WIC exist for those that need it, but at the same time, I wish that WIC advocated more for breastfeeding instead of making formula feeding so easy that many moms are unwilling to give breastfeeding a chance. I know not everyone can breastfeed, or wants to, and that’s fine, but I also think that with better awareness and knowledge of breastfeeding and its many benefits, more moms would do it. 🙂

  1380. Kaitlin Yadlosky says

    Love all te goodies in the giveaway an so excited to find out about more probreastfeeding groups. I’ve been nursing for 4 months and love it!

  1381. Supporting ALL mothers’ decisions on how to feed their babies is the best way to promote breast feeding – when mothers don’t feel judged, they are so much more open to different (and maybe better) ways of doing things. When we judge formula feeding moms, we are shutting them down. Love each other, mamas!

  1382. Christen Girt says

    I am currently breastfeeding my 3rd child who is almost 4 months old! I breastfed my other two also, my first son who is almost 4 I breastfed until he was 18 months old, I think that we would have continued had I not gotten pregnant with our second. And my second son, who is 22 months, I breast fed him until he was 15 months old and he too would have continued on had I not gotten pregnant again. I am hoping since my DH and I have no future plans in having more children that my 4 month old son and I will have a long breastfeeding relationship! He seems to really enjoy and as do I. It is so refreshing to see some many woman out there that are breastfeeding, sometimes it feel as though you are the only one around! This is an awesome giveaway, good luck to you all!

  1383. A hug, a shoulder, and an ear are the best types of support. Sometime a mother just needs to know they aren’t alone and someone is there for them.

  1384. I feel so lucky to have many around me who support BFing. I remember feeling nervous about feeding my first child in public (even with a nursing cover) and when another woman on a train looked over at me, smiled and nodded, I felt such relief that someone who noticed what I was doing was not at all condemning! Such a small thing went a long way for me!

  1385. Words of encouragement and even assistance when possible (lactation consultant or others who have done it themselves). I have some around me that treat breastfeeding as something that is disgusting and unnecessary but I try my best to ignore them and not let them get in the way of things; I just think that they are uneducated when it comes to breastfeeding.

  1386. I’ve come to The Leaky Boob with bleary eyes both with questions and needing encouragement. I have always found both. 🙂 Thank you. Having a community of support has certainly helped us reach our goals.

  1387. Getting support from complete strangers is amazing. Nursing in public and someone passes you and smiles supportive shows me that I am doing the right thing.

  1388. Breastfeeding rocks! I love seeing supportive mamas helping other mamas when it comes to breastfeeding! I went to the Big Latch On event on Saturday and was so proud to be nursing with everyone!

  1389. Volunteering at our local Breastfeeding Cafe for the next couple of weeks to spread the word about the importance of breastfeeding and normalizing nursing!

  1390. Nursing takes time, patience, and perseverance. Having support from a local LC and a LLL was so helpful to me.

  1391. i think by not being shy about breastfeeding in public goes a long way. it helps to normalize it, so other mamas might think ‘well i’m not the only one who’ll be doing it’ or ‘hey if she can nurse openly and comfortably here, so can i.’ a little smile from mom to mom is helpful, too, i know i appreciate it =)

  1392. I’m super excited about breastfeeding my third child. I failed miserably due to lack of knowledge and support with my first two. Baby number 1 BF for 6 months and #2 I didn’t make it past the third day. I’m looking forward to this experience, and I hope to be a huge support to other moms out there that I know (and perhaps those I don’t). All I can say is make sure you read about it and that you find support, either online or from friends and family! Great giveaway!

  1393. I was so surprised at how easy it is to breastfeed in public! Of course some places more than others are less comfortable, but most people don’t even think twice about it, especially if you’re covered.

    I tell everyone who will listen how to make breastfeeding in everyday life easier because it’s so good for you and for baby!

  1394. Heather Clark says

    I give out my thank you for breastfeeding in public cards. I offer help and good advice to anyone who asks. I also talk about breastfeeding a lot.

  1395. Stephanie Bixby says

    Support of friends and family really helped me to feel more comfortable breastfeeding. Also, being a part of The Leaky Boob’s facebook has helped me a lot.

  1396. Cassandra Clark says

    My husbands support in saying he wanted the best for our children made it easy to feel confidant in my decision to breast feed and allow our son to self ween

  1397. I had great support while nursing my eldest daughter…I plan to do the same with my soon to be born boy. I have a wonderful doula who is also a lactation consultant and my husband does what he can to help me focus on our family’s breastfeeding goals. Blogs like this and mommy networks have taught me about different products and/or resources. I know feel like I have to support other friends and family in their goals. They tend to come to me when they have questions or for direction on great resources. I always give them this blog, la Leche league resources and websites like Kelly mom or baby center. Very excited about this giveaway!!! Another way to support nursing mommies!!!

  1398. All moms, new and experienced, need support and encouragement as breastfeeding isn’t always easy. Support comes in many forms these days be it in person, on the phone, or online. Thanks to groups like this and Facebook, I have been able to nurse my daughter to 23 months and we’re still going strong.

  1399. I’m pregnant with my first child, due in late October. We would be so thrilled and honored if we won this giveaway! I can’t wait to start breast feeding my son, starting on the day he is born and I am incredibly grateful for the resources at the leaky boob, which have made me feel totally confident that I can EBF. Thank you!!!

  1400. Karen Bertucci says

    Amazing giveaway! I am a proud BF’ing mom of a 17 mon old! Keep up the good work, the support is definitely needed!

  1401. I wouldn’t have made it as far as I have breastfeeding my daughter if it weren’t for the support of family, friends and the lovely ladies at my lactation support group.

  1402. Fallon Nardi says

    I was never hostile towards people trying to give me advice on breast feeding with my first child but I was very modest and didn’t ask for help when I should have. With my second the first thing I did was ask for the lactation consultant to come in and help me so that I could be successful at breast feeding. With my third I didn’t want to ask for help because I felt I should have known what to do but I eventually asked and was so happy I did. I don’t know what I would have done without my husband being so supportive and encouraging. I am so happy to have found this blog so that I know where to find great information and women who are supportive of breast feeding!

  1403. Online support is definitely what got me through the tough times nursing my first daughter. Now I’ve been successfully nursing for 54 continuous months! I’m a newborn photographer, so I love getting to meet new moms in those first weeks after birth. I always let them know how great it is that they’re breastfeeding!
