"The story of the Milky Way, as it appears in Greco-Roman mythology, concerns the breastfeeding of the baby Hercules, son of Jupiter. Because Hercules’ mother was mortal, Zeus put Hercules to the breast of the Goddess Juno, his wife and sister, believing that Hercules would acquire immortality through her breastmilk. As Hercules enjoyed nursing from sleeping Juno’s breast, she awoke and pushed him away. As she did so, her precious milk sprayed across the heavens, crystallizing into a promontory of stars, creating the Milky Way as we know it today. Her milk that fell on the ground created the lily.”
Welcome to Celebreast: A Celebration of Breastfeeding!
I decided to start Celebreast as a place for mothers to come and share their breastfeeding stories and experiences. A virtual home for all mothers who have ever breastfed their children - no matter for how long.
Celebreast is about celebrating what you did achieve, however long you breastfed for, and enjoying the memories you have of that very special time. All your efforts did count, it was worthwhile, and at the heart of it was a mother sharing a very special gift with her own beautiful baby.
Focus on the successes and forget the word failure.
So please, take your time and join the forums, enjoy the stories, share your own and above all, celebrate breastfeeding!

Many nursery items are only required for a limited period before your baby will outgrow them or you no longer require it. Why buy when you can hire? This applies to lots of items in your nursery and breastpumps in particular.
Breastfeeding confers a myriad of benefits to you and to your baby and your breastfeeding relationship need not interfere with you getting on with the rest of your normal activities.
The World Health Organization (WHO), the Australian Medical Association and the Australian Breastfeeding Association all recommend that all infants be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life and that breastfeeding continue up to two years of age and beyond.
There are many reasons why mothers may need to express breastmilk for their babies such as:
· You may need to return to work or study;
· You may like to express so you can have a day, evening or weekend away;
· You may like your partner to be able to feed baby;
· Your baby may have problems feeding directly from the breast, due to prematurity, illness or other problems related to sucking and latching such as flat or inverted nipples, breast infection;
· You or your baby may have to be hospitalised and you will be separated for some time;
· You may need a breastpump to help you increase your breastmilk supply, or relactate or induce lactation in cases of adoption or wishing to recommence breastfeeding.
