The Best of Blacktating 2011

Here are my favorite posts from this year, in no particular order. Looking forward to another year of exploring the issues surrounding breastfeeding with you.

The Social Network: on how other parents influence our parenting and hov this impacts breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding Superstars: a  fantastic short film on moms who've overcome serious challenges in order to breastfeed.

Michelle Obama and the "Choice" to Breastfeed: in which I argue that breastfeeding is not a choice.

CDC 2011 Breastfeeding Report Card: important, although the statistics are a constant source of frustration.

The Natural Trend: Is Breastfeeding Next?: on the influence of the natural hair movement on breastfeeding in the black community.

The Sweet Release: on my daughter's tongue tie and getting that sucker clipped!

Nursing in Public Bingo: because the ignorant comments never get old (or change for that matter).
