Boob Ninja Super Friends are on job!
In Toronto this week, Boob Ninja Gabriella (of Our Little Funny Bunny and MommyBlogsToronto) spotted a dis on breastfeeders in a local commuter rag and took action by writing a scathing letter:

Breastfeeding mothers should be "discreet?" BAH. Bravo, Gabriella, for calling this one out! (Read her account of being motivated to write the letter HERE.)
Meanwhile, Boob Ninja TB was covering the airwaves, waxing supportive of breastfeeding moms everywhere on the Gulf Coast News Live radio show. You can listen HERE. (Do listen - it's a great show, with a really comprehensive discussion of the benefits of breastfeeding and of the tremendous societal pressures against breastfeeding that women still experience.)
Go Boob Ninjas!!!

Remember - you still have until midnight tonight to send in your breastfeeding pics for the Great Breast Fest Montage. Also, don't forget to let us know if you plan to join in via webcam!
I won't be live via webcam, but I do plan to post a video of myself nursing on 10/10. Count me in.
Also, the BOOB (that's me, along with a few other bloggers) did a live BOOBcast on BlogTalkRadio last month, discussing the Bill Maher and Facebook debacle. We had some great callers, including a dad offering his opinion on why men get so squeamish around breastfeeding. Ya'll check it out and let us know what you think!
