  1. On the breastfeeding photo on Facebook ban

    Recently there has been a lot of debate happening over the Facebook ban on a mum’s photo depicting her breastfeeding her child. The case has been receiving heaps of strong reactions from both sides of the fence.

    It’s a complex issue. It is a question of ‘right’ or ‘wrong’? Or is it more an issue of differing perspectives?

    Unfortunately Facebook is caught in the middle. How can they make a ‘fair’ decision in a mixed community of members from a myriad of ...

  4. Breastfeeding in public

    Being a crunchy mum, I was determined from the start to breastfeed Nathan for as long as possible.

  5. What does it mean to be crunchy?

    So what’s the deal with the term ‘crunchy’ (a.k.a. granola eating hippie) style parenting? ^_^
