A variety of baby and breastfeeding related links that have fallen into my lap in the last few days

Most popular baby names by decade from the 1880s to 2000s.-I found my name in the appropriate decade.

Also, The baby name wizard blog with some interesting articles. Do note that the words "vagina" and "penis" appear in entirely mundane context on the current first page of the blog.

I think it's time to go talk to my breakfast cereal, and see what my Rice Krispies inspire me to do today. Maybe they'll prompt me to answer the three e-mails in my inbox that I want to deal with.

The thing is, I agree with you, I'm just an inarticulate git. :) I am firmly convinced that breastfeeding is better than formula. The thing is, I don't think the average advertising company can write a campaign that portrays that effectively without coming across as berating women who don't breastfeed. And I think in general you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. People who tell me my baby's going to die get ignored, while someone who can explain why breastfeeding would benefit *me* is going to get my ear.

I need to think on this more.
