It seems like there is a big movement among young mothers to stop using the disposable diapers and disposable nursing pads. This is such a pleasant surprise. When I completed my medical training in the 80's, there was no talk of breastfeeding anywhere. In fact, nurses and the doctors did not even discuss breastfeeding with their patients.
When I recently attended the Ca/Nev La Leche League conference, I was delighted to see so many nursing moms and their young children, many of whom were being carried in all sorts of strap-on carriers. I felt a lot of positive energy there.
Is this movement unique to California?
I would like to welcome some comments from other nursing moms.
Thank you.

Hi. I'm one of your testers and was browsing to find out more. "Babywearing," which is what you saw at the conference, isn't new, but it's more widespread popularity is pretty recent, in my opinion. It's certainly not limited to California, although there are lots of reasons it may seem more popular there than elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteIf you are looking for lots of feedback from nursing and babywearing mothers, I can recommend a few forums for you to browse and perhaps join: kellymom.com (emphasis on breastfeeding and parenting), thebabywearer.com, diaperswappers.com (emphasis on cloth diapering), and car-seat.org.
All of these are active communities full of parents with opinions!
Good luck.
