Before posting, please read this post that addresses frequently asked questions. Our entries are all organized in the community memories, and with post tags, as well.

If you have an issue with a comment made in one of your posts, screen the offending comment and e-mail the moderators. Please do NOT contribute to any drama. If you are concerned about drama in the community, e-mail the moderators - do not compose a new post complaining about the drama, therefore creating more drama. Please respect member privacy in this community, and refrain from screen-capping and snarking. Every woman deserves a safe place to ask questions without judgement, and all entries are forced friends-only. Please do not link to other LJ communities or discussion groups to validate your opinions - we are not on the warpath. All drama-related posts will be removed immediately. If you have questions about formula, please ask them in a formula feeding community. We do not condone the use of formula unless absolutely medically necessary and all options have been exhausted. If you have any questions, comments, ideas, or concerns about a post or comment made in the community, please e-mail us. We welcome everyone's input to keep this community the wonderful, caring, supportive breastfeeding community that it is. | |
