Facebook VS the Common MOM

Stop Deleting Mother Support Groups Facebook!

Mothering and breastfeeding support groups have had to be on the defensive for more than 4 years on Facebook and we are tired of it. Since the start of the year I have heard of at least 4 support groups getting deleted and it has put a sour taste in my mouth. To me though, they crossed the line when they deleted my favorite Facebook support group called The Leaky Boob .

Although I'm a mom of three breastfeeding didn't exactly come natural to me nor did I become a pro at it till my third child. The Leaky B@@b helped me get past those hard times with supportive and helpful comments from the host of the support group all the way down to the members in it. It was also a group that felt welcoming when you first join it, welcoming enough that even newcomers jump right into commenting on status's posted to the wall to see if they can help. That is why it came as a complete shock for facebook to have deleted them and then not give any clear cut reason why they did so.

So I started this Facebook Page, (cliche maybe, but a goal yes) to try and raise awareness on the subject and to possibly get facebook's attention. So if you don't mind visitors check it out and if you'd like to lend a hand just click like. Thanks guys!
