AboutThis community is for parents who breastfeed, wish to breastfeed, or wish they had. If you are offended by the above statement, then this community is not for you. (And if you are offended by the above statement, go back, read it again and really think about what Elizabeth Gene is saying. Be honest.)
It is primarily for UK based parents, but parents from elsewhere are more than welcome to join too.
A few rules -
1. This is a community for support, please make sure you behave appropriately.
2. Venting is fine, but personal attacks against an identifiable person, (whether on Livejournal or not) are not.
3. Posting pictures is fine, just put them behind a cut-tag - the same with super-long posts. (You can learn how to cut-tag here)
4. Flaming will not be tolerated. Any posts I feel to be flames will be deleted and the member put on moderated status.
In the interest of maintaining this community as a safe space for breastfeeding mothers, it is currently on moderated membership. Join as normal, and you will be approved as soon as a mod is able to check your journal. (If your journal is friends only, or has no mention of your pregnancy or breastfeeding, please contact one of the mods below at breastfeedingukmods@gmail.com)
