I’m sure I’m not the first person to compare the conception of an idea, its incubation, development and eventual presentation to the world to conception, pregnancy and birth.  Maybe you’ll give me a bit of leeway as my little guy is still small enough to softly snore as he snuggles skin to skin on my chest, and the waiting, work, emotion, and joy of his birth are still fresh in my mind.

Just as I have hopes and dreams that my sons will grow to be happy well-adjusted boys and men, I have hopes that this blog, breastfeeding science, will grow to become a happy well-adjusted place to find useful evidence-based information from the scores of research articles that I have found relevant to my journey as a mother, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and breastfeeding researcher.

So in the exhuberant afterglow of birth and the dreams I have for a brilliant future,  Happy Birthday to our newest addition:  breastfeedingscience.com
