This is the theme of International Breastfeeding Week, celebrated in the UAE 13th-17th November.
I'd really like to encourage all the breastfeeding mamas to keep talking about breastfeeding: encourage other mamas (and expectant mamas), share your experiences, and ask for support and information when you need it. This forum is great for that, and for other opportunities in the UAE see the "Breastfeeding Support in the UAE" thread http://www.expatwoman.com/qatar/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=151781 .

If you're in Dubai, you might also be interested in attending a National Breastfeeding Week seminar/workshop.
Breastfeeding Q&A are organising one on Saturday 12th November at Al Wasl (topics include breastfeeding with colic/reflux, babywearing, laid-back nursing, milk-sharing, and weaning from the breast). http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_pregnancy_babies_breastfeeding_w...
MediCentres are also organising one on Thursday 17th November (details and registration on 04-3608866).

I was really fortunate to be able to breastfeed my first child until he was 1 1/2 yrs and am currently feeding my second child at 1 1/2 yrs. What really made this possible was the great support I received from the ladies at Breastfeeding Q&A as well as the support I received from my husband, who made it a priority during each child's first year of life that I breastfeed first, and attend to other matters later. My husband read this great book called "Becoming a Father" by Dr Sears shortly before I delivered our first child, and he really took to heart all the advice Dr Sears gives fathers on how to best support their partners in their breastfeeding role. His first response to any of his mates who announce they're going to have a child: "Did you know how amazing breastmilk is??"

The Breastfeeding Q&A seminar is now full, but I would encourage any new mamas or mamas-to-be to consider attending the Medicentres one. And please keep talking about breastfeeding!
