   Hi

Alot of you will probably recognise my name from Breastmates or my own Facebook Page 

But anyway, I was asked to help with the New Zealand breastfeeding campaign so that is why I am posting a message on Oh Baby (I hope that is alright Emma, katherine and Angela?)

Here is the offical blurb about the project:

The Ministry of Health’s breastfeeding campaign has launched two social media communities at Bebo and Facebook  (so just join up to whichever one you use)

The communities are an opportunity to create a conversation with mums and their supporters. The emphasis is that breastfeeding is a normal part of life. It's not a judgement nor debate about breast vs bottle, its purely about breastfeeding. 

There are no commercial interests.

The pages are for anyone and everyone who is breastfeeding, or interested in breastfeeding. Mums will be able to find out more, share their stories and get support from other breastfeeding mums. There will also be a photo competition, and free wristbands coming soon.

It would be fantastic if you could please spread the word to your contacts, and come and join yourself. 

The pages have just started so we'd welcome your involvement.
