New Beginnings is using the final week of the year to look back at the popular stories shared by parents in 2023 on the La Leche League USA blog.

We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank you for reading our weekly blog posts and sharing these stories of parenting struggles and successes.

As the year comes to a close, we encourage you to reflect on your own parenting and human milk feeding experiences and consider sharing your stories with us. Did you know that New Beginnings offers another great reason to contribute an article? La Leche League USA and New Beginnings hold periodic drawings for gift cards. All contributors will be entered into the drawings.
