 This is how Lactivists celebrate pancake day! Pancakes that look like boobs!
Boobs, mums and babies made out of pancakes! Pancakes in a bra! Strawberry aereolas and nipply bits! One mum said her daughter looked at her boob pancakes and said “not your boob though mummy. Thanks for making my boob food!”
Thank you to everyone who sent in pictures for the Lactivist Facebook Wall!

Karen, the lovely mum behind www.boobiemilk.co.uk (who sponsor Lactivist) is going to be sponsoring the breastfeeding room at the Sussex Baby and Toddler show in Hastings on the 10th March.
She would like to know if you have any ideas for things she can do in the room. She can put posters up, leaflets, anything really. What would make it really good? There will already be water, flowers, some free sample breast pads in the room.

 Thank you to Ruth for telling us about this on the Lactivist Facebook Page.
NHS Eastern and Coastal Kent have had an extraordinary response to their ‘Keep calm and carry on Breastfeeding’ campaign.
The purpose of the campaign is to drive home the message that it’s now illegal to ask someone to stop breastfeeding in public, and that women who wish to breastfeed should keep calm and carry on.
Breastfeeding has many health benefits for both mum and baby – including reducing the risk of breast cancer.
Breastfed babies are also less likely to suffer from asthma, eczema, allergies and diabetes in later life, and require less medical treatment and hospitalisation than bottle fed babies.
Want to spread the word?
The ‘Keep calm and carry on breastfeeding’ artwork can be downloaded and used by anyone who wants to create a poster, t-shirt, mug – or any other way to spread the word about breastfeeding.

BREAKING NEWS from http://formulafree.com/pages/FacebookDebate.htm
Facebook is a very resourceful place for social and business networking. However as most people have heard through the media lately, Facebook has removed profile pictures of breastfeeding.
While there are many opinions about repeated removals and no attempt by Facebook to accept the breastfeeding photos, I thought WHY?!? Why is it a big deal? Why would Facebook remove nursing photographs (most of which barley show any breast)?
The researched and factual answer is:
A Facebook Shareholder is the owner of an Infant Formula Company!
- Billionaire Li Ka-Shang who is a Facebook Shareholder of 0.75% (an estimated $165 million value) owns Hutchison China MediTech Ltd.
This may not appear to be a substantial amount, however when you review the shareholder list for Facebook it is a substantial influence.
Hutchison China MediTech Ltd announced on May 26, 2011 that it will enter the Chinese infant-formula milk powder market through cooperation with Hain Celestial Group Inc, a leading US natural and organic products company.
“By launching Earth’s Best and Zhi Ling Tong co-branded organic infant formula in China, the companies are targeting the country’s premium market” … China “sees 15 million newborn infants every year, thus the market potential of baby milk powder is huge”.
“In the next five years, the company will strive to gain 2 percent market share, which equals some $123 million.”
- A fast mention that Interpublic Group which is another Facebook Shareholder of less than 0.5% (an estimated $110 million value) is the parent company of Draftfcb, and Lowe + Partners.
Draftfcb client list includes Nestle and Pfizer. Both companies are known for infant formula. Lowe + Partners also list Nestle as a client.
You might ask what this has to do with breastfeeding photos on Facebook. That is a simple answer; however, you tell me why Facebook’s shareholders who invest in an infant formula company would want to stop the promotion of breastfeeding?
There are many debates and disagreements within our society of how to raise a child. But there is no synthetic substitute that can compare to true Organic Milk from a mother.
Society should be changed for the better, to a culture that promotes Formula Free babies and supports breastfeeding. What society seems to forget is that breastfeeding is normal! The more you see something, the more normal it becomes and the less people will relate a bottle to a baby before a breast.
It seems that Facebook while free to its users comes with a price. Social networking is controlled by those who can afford to control it. One thing the formula companies will never be able to market and never understand is the bond that breastfeeding creates. We do not breastfeed to save money (that is just a bonus), we breastfeed because it’s the best thing for our babies, ourselves, and our environment!
Breastfeeding moms make a difference! Keep up the great work and if you want to pass on the research we’ve done, feel free to Share on Facebook, Tweet it or pin it! We can all make a difference and you already have!

 Welcome Kittykins who are now sponsors of www.lactivist.net. Lactivist.net running costs are paid by companies who pay to advertise on the Lactivist Friendly Business Page. Please make it worth their while and visit them at www.kittykins.co.uk
Christine acquired Kittykins, a large UK nappy website in 2010 because it was was closing down as the owners were moving out of nappies and on to new things. Kittykins was first opened in 2003, and specialised in stocking a large range of cloth nappies of all varieties. The website was designed to have some useful features like interactive tools to help choose which nappies to buy, and see how many you’ll need to get, as well as a star rating system to compare the nappies on factors like absorbency, cuteness, slim fit and ease of use. It seemed a shame to let a top website like Kittykins simply close.
Christine said “I didn’t set out to be a mumpreneur, but I love it now that I am!
She is married to Iain, an accountant, and they are we’re parents to 4 girls, 3 of whom were in cloth nappies, all of them breastfed – progressively longer each time.
“I got involved in donating breastmilk with my third daughter, when she refused point blank to take a bottle and I couldn’t bear to waste what I’d pumped – I ended up donating milk regularly for several months for the local SCBU. My last daughter involved a bit of perseverance with the feeding as she was failing to thrive, I resisted pressure to put her on formula and it turned out that was a sound judgement, because she was allergic to cows milk protein! She was reacting to the tiny amounts coming through my milk, this was diagnosed when she was 6 months old and weighed just 10lbs 6oz! Having gained no weight for 3 months, I went dairy free on the suggestion of a b/f counsellor from the NCT, and she put on 11oz in a week. She self weaned at a year but remained dairy free until she was nearly two, when we found she had outgrown the allergy, and she has been on a normal diet since.”

Antonia and Erica have been really helpful with Lactivist over the past few years so if you are considering writing a book I am pretty convinced their course will help you.
What’s your business ambition right now? Do you want to raise your business profile? Do you want to attract more customers? Put your prices up? Or make more profit? Or like 81% of people, have you simply always wanted to write a book?
If any of those goals are ringing true for you join the From Knowledge to Profit course.
In this new course authors and entrepreneurs Antonia Chitty and Erica Douglas are giving a small group of people the chance to work with them to write and publish an eBook over the course of 3 months. Antonia says, “We know that writing is a competitive field. This course doesn’t just help you complete your book; we also tell you how to write a book that SELLS. I have personally seen the amount I can charge increase by a factor of 20 since becoming an author, and our business brings in more than twice average author’s annual income EVERY MONTH.”
If this sounds interesting, follow the link to discover more about the From Knowledge to Profit course. But act fast: you can only sign up until 1 Feb, and you start work at the end of next week!
Why work with Antonia and Erica?
Between them Antonia and Erica have written 15 books and run a successful business. Antonia says, “I’ve learnt LOADS along the way as I’ve worked with a range of publishers:
- I’ve self published books, and ALWAYS made a profit.
- I’ve discovered how to sell books when you have thousands of copies of a self published book sitting in a garage!
- And I’ve found out how eBooks can take the risk away of investing in printed books.
- I’ve promoted my own books, and those of other people: I can tell you how to sell 100 books from an email.
- I’ve worked through all the hard ways of promoting an eBook, and discovered all the smart ways.
- I’ve built up a great team who help my books succeed and they will be supporting YOU too.
If you want to join me and make the most of all my knowledge and experience, join the From Knowledge to Profit course.”
Make money from eBooks
If you’re considering joining the From Knowledge to Profit course, but are worried about paying for the course, here are 9 ways to make money from your eBook that have worked for Antonia and Erica:
- Sell the book direct from your own website.
- Add your book to Amazon Kindle. You can’t afford to miss out on the biggest eBook-buying audience.
- Add your book to the other sites that are already selling millions of eBooks. We share them with you in the course.
- Develop consultancy or individual coaching services to solve the same issues you address in your eBook.
- Offer group training, workshops or group coaching. With your profile as an author, it’s much easier to sell places at your own events.
- Contact people who have bought your book direct from your site and offer them other products and services: if they love what you have written they will be keen to buy again.
- Create an affiliate scheme so other people can sell your books for you. With an eBook there is no post or packing so you can give them a great incentive AND still make good profits.
- Get in touch with conference organisers offering to speak, and include a copy of your book. I’ve made over £1000 by speaking at a single event AND got extra consultancy work afterwards from attendees.
- Turn your book into an online course. Some people much prefer eLessons to reading a book, and you can add value with a member site too. If you ask for a small monthly subscription fee for your course you can create a regular stream of income.
Just pick a few of these ideas and you’ll not only make back your course fees, you’ll also have plenty of streams of ongoing income that will allow you to do the work you love AND have time to follow your heart’s interests too.
A final reminder
Join From Knowledge to Profit, and Antonia and Erica tell you much more about creating your eBook AND making it a profitable business asset. You need to sign up by 9pm GMT on Wednesday 1st February to take part.
I don’t need to remind you that being an author can raise your profile, attract more customers and clients, bring in more business and allow you to put up your prices. There is proof all around you when you see authors speaking at conferences or running well paid training and think ‘I wish that was me’.
Well, it could be you. That’s right. Join the From Knowledge to Profit course by by 9pm on Wednesday 1st February to take the first step to creating an eBook.

 Huge thanks to Terry Nappies who are now sponsors of www.lactivist.net. Lactivist.net running costs are paid by companies who pay to advertise on the Lactivist Friendly Business Page. Please make it worth their while and visit them at www.terrynappies.co.uk
Christine, who runs Terry Nappies opened it in 2008 when the country was heading into recession and she thought it made sense to have a nappy site selling budget nappies to those who really needed to save as much money as possible. The website has been popular and there is definitely a lot of interest in terry squares, yet surprisingly few cloth nappy websites actually stock them.
She said:
“Having used them myself I am quite confident in helping others with them. We added downloadable folding instructions to the website, which has been popular. We’ve since updated the website and increased the product range, so while the terry squares are a mainstay, we also stock more modern shaped and pocket nappies too, so there’s a whole variety of stuff in one place. Our unique nappy kits have also been popular, people are often unsure what to get, so we put together a few kits to make buying easy.
Before I was a “mumpreneur” I worked in insurance for a company specialising in insurance for the very wealthy – this gave me a background in high standards of customer service, as our clients tended to have very high expectations! My nappy know-how comes from personal experience – as you can imagine with 4 babies I’ve changed LOTS of nappies in my time (probably around 18,000, if you assume 4,500 per baby!), and have tried out everything from terry squares to all in ones. I like the flexibility of working for myself, although the down side is that you never get any time off, because if I don’t do the work, it just doesn’t get done!”

The Breastfeeding and Feminism Symposium brings together academic scholars, practitioners, activists, and policy makers from the United States and abroad who are interested in considering feminist perspectives to address breastfeeding as a health priority for women and children. The symposium is co-sponsored by the Center for Women’s Health and Wellness at UNC Greensboro and the Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute at UNC Chapel Hill.
Since 2005 the six Breastfeeding and Feminism symposia have stimulated a growth in public discourse and scholarship on the sociocultural, economic, and political constraints to women’s infant feeding choices. In addition, the symposia have focused attention on how public health approaches to breastfeeding must go beyond promoting health to include serious consideration of the realities of women’s lives, which are complicated by structural inequities that feminists investigate through gender, race, and class analysis.
The theme of the 2012 symposium is: Considering women in Advancing the Surgeon General’s Call To Action
In 2010 The US Surgeon General issued a Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin writes that she issued this call “because the time has come to set forth the important roles and responsibilities of clinicians, employers, communities, researchers, and government leaders and to urge us all to take on a commitment to enable mothers to meet their personal goals for breastfeeding”. This call to action sets forth 6 areas for action. This Call to Action addresses issues similar to those put forward by the European Union Blueprint for Breastfeeding. Presenters, from both the US and around the world, will describe discuss the ways in which we can implement programs, policies, research or other actions that engage women, empower women, build upon and value women’s knowledge and experiences, and keep women’s needs and gender issues at the forefront as we advance the call to action

Lets hear a big warm welcome to Plush Pants who are the newest sponsors of www.lactivist.net. They join the growing list of businesses on the Lactivist Friendly Business Page. Please make it worth their while and visit them at www.plushpants.com
Plush Pants was started in 2000, and was bought by Christine in 2004 when it was closing down.
 “I mentioned it to my husband as I intended to buy some cheap nappies in the sale, and he suggested we buy the business instead. Three weeks later I was running it! It was a slightly mad decision if I look back on it now, we had 4 children aged 6 and under, we were just about to demolish our garage to start a house extension, and then we bought a business to run from home – the first six months were total mayhem as our house was being knocked about in all directions and at one point the only rooms not affected by the building work were our bedroom, the smallest bedroom, and the downstairs loo! From humble beginnings we quickly updated the website, and once space allowed we started to expand.
The Plush Pants Nappy Trial Scheme has been going since 2001, allowing parents to try before they buy. In fact, this is how I was converted to using cloth nappies full time myself! I found it hard to choose, and was worried about spending a lot of money on the wrong things, so this was an ideal way for me to get started. I’m passionate about helping others who are unsure to give cloth nappies a go, so the Nappy Trial Scheme is one of my pet projects. I’ve even got my local council (Oxfordshire) funding free nappy trial kits!”
Plush Pants have a BIG Nappy Sale on at the moment with huge savings! Organic Tots Bots are £6.50, Nature Babies Deluxe Stuffable Nappies £6.95.
There is also an ongoing ‘Nappies in Action‘ section to the website where customers can win £10 to spend at Plush Pants by sending in cute “babe in cloth nappy” pictures.

On the first day of Breastfeeding Christmas my true love gave to me…..
They come in pale, medium and dark colours, sizes to fit from newborn to 4 years, are suitable for vegans and made in the UK.
Hats are packaged with Lactivist flyers and then wrapped in purple tissue paper but if you want very posh wrapping in silver or gold with luxury ribbon that is no problem, and it can be sent directly to the person getting the present! I’ll even hand write a Lactivist postcard to send with it.

 Quite often, after a long day of Lactivisting when there is a large flailing 8 year old wanting to co-sleep with me we cuddle up and listen to a Relax Kids meditation cd together. My favorite one is the Nature Meditation but as we are both usually fast asleep before the middle of it I have no idea what happens at the end. We also have the Superhero and Wizard cds.
You can buy them as MP3′s, here is a link for the nature one:
Regular relaxation can help children manage stress, anxiety while improving their concentration, focus and listening skills. Regular relaxation is pretty important for mums too!
You can try Relax Kids for free because they have a new free app on apple itunes for little ones – as an introduction to relaxation, http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/healthy-star/id479844318?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D2
There is also a link to a free Nature Meditations MP3 on the top right of the Relax Kids website – www.relaxkids.com
