I, personally, love this theme. So many times people think, "What can I do to help?" It doesn't take much. The Power of One can go so far with breastfeeding.
The official LLL World Breastfeeding Week page lists great examples of the Power of One. For example, one...
...drop of colostrum
...mother supported
...father being supported
...phone call
...LLL leader helping a mother.
I have a few of my own. One supportive glance or smile at a mom nursing in public. One encouraging word to a new mom who is having trouble nursing. One hour of relaxing with your newborn baby as you are nursing him or her. One decision that will benefit your baby for a lifetime.
If you would like to get involved with NWBW, the best place to start would be your local LLL group. Many groups are planning events to celebrate and support breastfeeding. The LLL page on NWBW also has a listing of registered events scheduled to take place in the United States.
You can also bring out awareness through a fun photo contest! Amy over at Musings of a Crunchy, Domestic Goddess is having a photo contest in celebration of NWBW. What a great way to promote the image of breastfeeding and get a chance to win great prizes while you're at it. So head on over and enter for your chance to win!

I've just recently discovered your blog and have been enjoying reading it. I'm a strong breastfeeding advocate too and am always excited to find similarly minded people. You're a great writer!
