I’m really pleased to see more and more organizations stepping up to provide positive messages and support for breastfeeding. I’ve been thrilled to be working with Best for Babes for a while now to try to spread their message about beating the booby traps (and can’t wait to tell you all about some exciting upcoming initiatives!), I’m always happy to recommend kellymom.com as a great resource for research-based breastfeeding information and support on their message boards, and I’m a card carrying member of La Leche League.

Personally, I think the more good information there is out there to support breastfeeding women and to promote breastfeeding, the better (and I dream of the ways we could all work together to do an even better job with our advocacy). So when I heard about the efforts of the women behind Bravado Designs nursing bras to educate the public at large about breastfeeding and support a positive breastfeeding experience for women in North America via their Bravado Breastfeeding Information Council, I was happy to honour their request to tell my readers about a survey they are conducting to better understand the breastfeeding experiences of women.

Go Take the Survey!

I should note that when I took the survey, I was not comfortable giving out my baby’s birth date (as requested), so I just put her month and year of birth instead. I followed up with Bravado afterwards and although they are not able to change the question at this point, they said it is fine to give the birth month instead of date if you prefer.

The survey is open until next Wednesday at midnight and you can win a prize by participating (see the survey for details).
