Congratulations to the Laramie project. We at Cottonwood Kids have also created a breastfeeding support program for hospitals.

Currently we are providing over 300,000 of these bags to hospitals nationwide, and it is picking up steam. If you would like to see the information about the program, please visit our website at http://www.cottonwood-kids.com and look for the “Alternative to Formula Discharge Bags.

It is great news that the tide is finally turning.

I am so excited I could burst, as soon as this was forwarded to me, I began to contact a group of women. I would love to be able to start supplying bags by the end of September to our local hospital. They have about two hundred births a month, very lofty goal for us to meet. We live in Lynchburg Virginia, can’t wait to keep you posted on this. I am sending Amanda an email now to get the list of companies! Thank you so much, blessings…..

I LOVE this! It’s such a great idea! There is so little support in hospitals for breastdfeeding! Thanks for the great post!

Slee- You could always team up with a friend and have her do the face-to-face interactions and you could do more of the e-mailing and organizing. Keep in mind that there isn’t a lot of face to face interaction involved. It really involves more contact via e-mail since that seems to be most convienent for business/organizations. Hope this helps! You can do it mama!

There are free downloadable brochures available at http://www.nocirc.org entitled
“Caring for your Intact Son” that would go well in these bags. It’s been shown that circumcision interferes with breastfeeding.

I LOVE this and wish I weren’t too shy to organize something like this locally.
