Moms in the military

Mothers are doing every kind of work now — including serving in the armed forces. Some of the challenges for breastfeeding mothers in the military seem to be shared by all working mothers. Others (as far as I can tell as a non-military person) are unique. I just found a website by a US navy veteran and IBCLC, Robyn Roche-Paull. It looks like she’s set up a forum, lists resources, and has a book. A taste of what she has to say:

Are you in the military?  Are you pregnant and considering breastfeeding your baby but don’t think it is possible to combine military service and breastfeeding?  You are not alone…. you are one of many in a long line of women that have decided to take on the challenge of combining motherhood and the military.

    Thanks for the shout out on your blog, I really appreciate it. This is a labor of love and completely voluntary as I was active duty and breastfeeding and needed help and support.

    My website and blog are a work in progress, check back often for more/updated info!
