In recognition of World Breastfeeding Week from August 1st - 7th, 2014, I thought it would be fun to host a postcard swap!

World Breastfeeding Week Official Website

This swap is open to anyone interested in sharing their experiences, whether you breastfed for one day, for many years and everything in between! :o)

  • 2 partners
  • 1 postcard to each partner (can be storebought, free / ad, or handmade) depicting breastfeeding
  • Write about your experience with breastfeeding, some ideas about what you could write about are....challenges with breastfeeding you had, benefits you experienced, how long you nursed, fondest memory of breastfeeding, funniest situation while nursing, etc. Feel free to add more potential topics in the comment section below!

Regarding participants:

• no non-rated swappers

• no swappers with 1's on their swap-bot profile (you need to take care of your previous obligations...)

• no "chronic 3" swappers - those swappers who consistently get rated a 3 because they don't follow the swap description or who send extremely late

• no swappers with the majority of their swaps being Type 1 (electronic swaps)

Anyone who dares to flake on this swap will:

• be reported as a flaker

• find that it's not easy to participate in Swap-Bot afterwards

• receive the Flying Hamster of Doom curse

• earn some bad karma

As swap coordinator, I reserve the right to ban anyone that I find suspicious or that I believe may not follow through on their obligations for the swap.

Have fun! :o)

I would love to join this swap, but have no breastfeeding cards. However, I salute all of you. I am 71 years old. I breastfed all five of my children, worked with La Leche League for many years and marvel at the changes in breastfeeding awareness that have occurred between mothers and the medical community. In my day, doctors laughed at us, nurses were bored. Now hospitals have lactation consultants. It's a wonderful time for mothers and babies.

Hi there, thanks for your comment! The swap starts in August, perhaps you could find or make a postcard depicting breastfeeding by then? (For example maybe you could find a picture from a magazine or print out a picture from the Internet and use that for a postcard?) It would be great to have you participate, you've seen a lot of changes in the world of breastfeeding! :)

I was able to find some nice art cards with breastfeeding on Zazzle.
