NO to Disposable Nursing Pads

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.
