The Black Breastfeeding Blog was created by Jennifer James as a way to reach black mothers who are currently breastfeeding or who want to breastfeed in the future. As a former breastfeeding mother of two daughters (who she breastfed for two years each), Jennifer believes in the powerful healing properties of breast milk and believes all black moms should at least start the nursing process to increase the health of their babies.

Angelica's beautiful breastfed baby

Yesterday, on the Anti-Racist Parent blog, columnist Tiffany Pridgen asked why aren't black women breastfeeding. One reason is because breastfeeding has truly become a lost art in the black community. Black mothers simply do not see their friends and family feeding their babies naturally anymore. It is my mission to help change that.

I would like to introduce you to breastfeedinig mama, Angelica and her 11 1/2-month-old son. Angelica says,
I'm a mother of 2 and currently breastfeeding my 11 and a half month old son (which is why we are up this time of morning). I am an elementary school teacher who exclusively breastfed my son despite working 7-4 each day." Editor's Note: She sent these pictures at 4:24 AM this morning. I fondly remember those early morning feedings.
