FEATURED FAN OF THE WEEK
Stephanie Swecker is the #PositiveBreastfeeding fan of the week. Stephanie and her husband, Jon, woke up to the news that over a dozen of Stephanie's breastfeeding photos were reported, dating back to December 2014. Stephanie and Jon immediately sought support from their friends, who assisted with a "virtual nurse-in" on Stephanie's wall. Many of Stephanie's friends wrote her positive words of support - including some who had never commented on breastfeeding before! Stephanie and Jon helped educate many people on Facebook's policy regarding breastfeeding photos. Thank you, Stephanie, for keeping it positive!
To be considered as our featured fan of the week, comment with your photo and story under the weekly "Fan of the Week" post in the main event.
