"Public Display of Breastfeeding" Day is coming up-->
August 15th!!
I like using a nursing cover although Estella has made it a bit difficult lately, but I am excited to just bust out on Thursday to show support for a cause that is dear to me!
I could not find an event close to me in the burbs so we will be making the trek out to the city to join moms in a BOOB-OLUTION! If anyone wants to join me, feel free! I will make it into the city before traffic and head out before traffic (*keeping my fingers crossed*)
Here is more information:
Support Public Display of Breastfeeding Day!
Public Display of Breastfeeding Day at Urba Baby Wicker Park
August 15th (12:00pm – 3:00pm)
1751 W. Division Street
Chicago, IL 60622
August is officially Breastfeeding Awareness Month and we’re celebrating! On August 15th, moms everywhere will breastfeed in public to celebrate The Bump’s second annual Public Display of Breastfeeding (PDB) Day.
You can show your support by coming to Urba Baby Wicker Park
on August 15 from 12-3pm to breastfeed in public. The first 30 moms
will be given a gift bag full of goodies from Boppy, Boon, pediped,
Babylegs, Earth’s Best and more!
Why
make a big deal out of breastfeeding in public? To empower moms and
show the world that if a mom chooses to breastfeed, it’s her right to
feed her baby whenever and wherever she needs to. The more people who see moms nursing in public, the less of a big deal it’ll be – and that’s the goal.
Free for moms and babies.
Visit www.thebump.com/pdb to take the pledge! Not a mom yet? You can still join the boob-olution by pledging to breastfeed when baby arrives.

Here we are walking around Woodfield Mall (12/2/12).
Estella was chilling in the Ergo and nursing while I got to walk around with both hands FREE! It was liberating....well and HOT (haha)...I was sweating and she was sweating but once she fell asleep, the cover came off and that's it.
And yes...I had to watch a couple youtube videos to prep for this hehe!
How did I not know about this day?! I will be celebrating because it's what I do every day! Love the bucket list idea too, I may have to start one since I'm sure it's already huge!!! Love your blog & its support of breastfeeding!
ReplyDeleteYes! I didn't know about this day either until I started doing research for my breastfeeding awareness project! I am so impressed you do it everyday! We are slowly getting away from using the cover but I like it because she falls asleep most of the time...but now she wants to be a part of the party plus eat so it's getting to that point ;) I love your blog too. Thanks for your support! We mamas have to stick together.
