Enter HealthConnect One’s photo contest during World Breastfeeding Week,

August 1st through 7th.

Breastfeeding mommies!
Today is our day.
We’re off to Great Places!
We’re off and away!

We have milk in our breasts. We have babies to feed.
We can steer ourselves
in any direction we need.
We are in this together. And we know what we know.
And WE are the women who’ll decide where to go.

We’ll look up and down streets. Look ‘em over with care.
About some we will say, “I can choose to feed there.”
With our breasts full of milk and our children to feed,
we’re too smart to not breastfeed wherever we need.

In support and celebration of World Breastfeeding Week 2012 HealthConnect One is hosting their second annual Photo Contest!
