I have just found out that the ABC group has its own internet site and I think it is very well presented. I was part of the support group way back in 1998 and its nice to see old faces on this site.
I have two lovely children and am still breastfeeding my 18 month old child. I had breastfed my first for 7 months but I intend to keep breastfeeding the young one for up to 2 years. I believe that a mum's breastmilk was miraclously created for her baby and nothing can beat it. The same statement also goes for the cow's breastmilk which is dedicated for her own calf.
I strongly recommend breastfeeding and if you encounter problems you'd sure find help.

On my first visit to hospital, when I was pregnant, I immediately knew that a star was to be born.  Instantly a big red star was attached to my blue card! 

I was to have a Caesarean birth.  I am small and that is to blame. During the usual hospital lectures, the breast feeding session was considerably short, but we were informed that the Cana Movement organised lessons for those who.....
