World Breastfeeding Week in the USA, 2007


"LLL in the USA 2007 WBWC theme is The Power of One. Groups may also use the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) theme: Breastfeeding: The 1st Hour - Save ONE million babies! Or, as always, any other theme that meets their needs.

The Power of One may refer to the first hour after birth, the first hour a preemie nurses at the breast, the first pumping of breastmilk for a baby in the NICU, a mother's first LLL meeting, etc. Some other suggested ideas include:

The Power of One...
...drop of colostrum
...pumping
...phone call
...LLL meeting
...conference
...Leader working with a Leader Applicant
...feeding at the breast
...hour, the first hour of bonding
...hour, your baby's first hour
...milky smile
...answered email
...WBW Celebration
...event promoting breastfeeding
...look from your newborn as he or she is nursing for the first time
...mother told "You can do it"
...supportive father
...Gold Standard, breastfeeding
...Leader helping one baby at a time
...pebble of accurate information and its ripples in the community
...mother supported, encouraged, listened to, informed, enlightened

We'd love to hear other ideas of The Power of One... to add to the list above."



Your ideas are welcome here too :-)
