Breastfeeding discussions filling cyberspace!


Facebook and Bebo sites for New Zealand's breastfeeding mums, and supporters of breastfeeding, are up and running – at a rate of knots!

Whether you're a consummate user of social media sites, or a complete novice, we urge you to take a few minutes to check out http://www.facebook.com/breastfeedingnz and http://www.bebo.com/breastfeedingnz.

The sites went live on 20 October, and, within a week, the Facebook site already had more than 600 fans!

The Facebook and Bebo sites will take discussions about breastfeeding to a far wider New Zealand audience than could be achieved through traditional advertising alone. Please send the links to the sites through your networks – the more mums and supporters taking part, the further we can spread the breastfeeding message.

Thank you for your ongoing support of the National Breastfeeding Education Campaign.
