Habiba

Please go to this link and read about Habiba - a woman whose 15 month old child was removed from her custody by authorities in Morocco.  Her mother's crime?  Breastfeeding her child.

I am horrified.  Just sickened.  I breastfed my girls until 28 months and 22 months.  I don't intend to stop nursing Jack until around the same age.  Please sign the petition and join the Facebook group, and spread the word.  Let's use the power of the internet and the power of mothers to help this woman get her baby back.

Thanks to PhD in Parenting, one of my favorite blogs, for getting the word out.
