The New Beginnings blog is always on the lookout for stories! Not only are your contributions a way to share your successes and challenges, they provide support and encouragement for families, and they help families to stay informed.

And did you know that New Beginnings will soon offer another great reason to contribute an article? Starting in April, La Leche League USA and New Beginnings will hold periodic drawings for gift cards. All contributors will be entered into the drawings.

Are you wondering what you can contribute? It’s really as easy as sharing your own experiences!

These experiences include but are not limited to the following:

• Birth stories
• Human milk feeding (breastfeeding, chestfeeding, supplementing, etc.)
• Gentle discipline
• Recipes/nutrition
• Book reviews
• Family activities for various ages
• Balancing work and parenting
• Travel tips (traveling with little ones, pumping on the go, storing human milk, etc.)
• Family relationships (partners, extended family such as grandparents, dealing with criticism, etc.)
• Challenges (mastitis, low milk supply, oversupply, premature birth, illness of parent or child, allergies, weaning, nursing manners, etc.)
• Co-parenting/visitation/divorce
• Role of La Leche League in your parenting

Share your experiences using narratives, poetry, creative writing, photographs, and/or artwork. All are welcome. We also are looking for informative articles about any of the above-mentioned topics and more – articles that could potentially become part of the Breastfeeding Info section of the LLL USA website.

Please send your questions and/or submissions to Amy at [email protected]. We’re excited to hear from you and share your stories!
