Much-needed support for breastfeeding working moms

KBoffi | Feb 24, 2009 | 0 | Posted in My Blog

As every mom knows, the joys of motherhood inevitably include multitasking. New moms grow accustomed to being pulled in different directions almost as quickly as they adapt to functioning on little or no sleep. Needless to say, such multitasking is most definitely on the radar of working moms and breastfeeding working moms in particular.

Despite the many nursing rooms cropping up in major offices around San Francisco, the array of pumping materials, nursing pads and more, breastfeeding and working still often exist in mutually exclusive corners. California Pacific Medical Center’s Newborn Connections is working to alter that misconception.

Join Newborn Connections’ free Saturday class to discuss easing the transition back to work after your baby’s birth, pumping, maintaining yours and your baby’s health and well-being, and more. All mothers are welcome! For more event details, and to RSVP, click here: http://cpmcbabysteps.org/event/1193.

Of course, Newborn Connections’ support of breastfeeding extends well beyond breastfeeding working moms. In support of the upcoming World Breastfeeding Week, Newborn Connections and California Pacific Medical Center’s BabySteps is hosting the FREE Bay Area’s Happiest Breastfed Baby Contest.

Enter today and join CPMC in a fun affirmation of breastfeeding – and, of course, a chance to show off your baby’s beauty. You can enter for free for a chance to win $500 and get you’re your child's photograph published in the Pottery Barn Kids catalog.* Awesome, right?

Bay Area babies who will be breastfeeding for all or part of February or March could be eligible to win. Just submit a non-professional photograph of your happy, breastfed baby before the contest deadline on March 31 to enter for your chance to win.

If you’re currently living in San Francisco City and County, Marin County, Alameda County, Contra Costa County, and San Mateo County, you are welcome to enter. Visit our Web site at cpmcbabysteps.org to read the in-depth contest rules and regulations and submit your own sweet photo.

Almost two hundred adorable photographs have already been received. So spread the word, and upload your submission today!

We look forward to some great submissions. Happy picture-taking!

Warm regards,
