❦ Halloween Milk! ❦

The Halloween Milk album at peaceful parenting on Facebook is always having photos flagged by lactiphobic onlookers - especially the cute little nursing 'pumpkins.' In 2011, half of all uploaded photos were removed by Facebook from the album. As a result, we're moving the gallery here and are excited to add your fun, furry-and-feathery milky photos to the collection this season.

You are welcome to upload or tag at the peaceful parenting Facebook page if this is easiest for you, or send to DrMomma.org@gmail.com and we will add yours in. We will watermark photos with your first/last name before posting, unless you request otherwise. If your photo or information was lost in last year's deletion, we invite you to email as well so we can update.

If you're carving up pumpkins this year, you may want to make one of your creations birth-and-babies related, snap a photo, and enter the 2012 peaceful parenting pumpkin carving contest taking place now.

It's all just for fun ~ to celebrate the joys of gentle parenting as we plant some seeds and raise awareness throughout this month of pumpkins, costumes (and momma milk!).  If you're a mother seeking info on nursing your baby, we invite you to visit the Breastfeeding Resources Page and write to us anytime.
