International Breastfeeding Journal is an open access journal publishing on all aspects of breastfeeding. Submit your manuscipt online. Take a different look at the controversial subject of woman's breasts at 007 Breasts - 007b.com! We believe women were not created as sexual objects to be looked upon as some kind of "toys", and breasts were not created for that purpose either. Female breasts have a purpose, and that purpose is the reason they exist. They were given to us as the means of BREASTfeeding our babies! This website is for the purpose of studying and promoting that very subject. The number 007 is normally connected with intelligence work and spies. Here at 007b.com the 'B' doesn't stand for "Bond" but for BREASTS. Our goal is to get people to use their intelligence, so as not to fall prey to the typical "007 - James Bond" type of thinking, which is so prevalent in many countries of our world today.
