Mothering is a magazine focused on natural mothering practices, which began publishing in 1976.[1] The headquarters is in Santa Fe, New Mexico.[2]

History

Mothering was founded in 1976, and in 1980, Peggy O'Mara became editor and publisher.[1] The November–December 2010 issue was the last printed issue of the Mothering magazine.[1] On February 15, 2011, Mothering magazine announced that publication of the magazine would end completely after the March–April 2011 issue, and that Mothering would subsequently become a Web-only company.[1]

Content

The magazine covers alternative childbirth options, and advocates breastfeeding, alternative education, homeschooling, co-sleeping and open discussion about the risks and benefits of vaccination.[3]

In 2006, Mothering sponsored a contest that solicited artwork to create an international symbol for breastfeeding. The winning design, chosen from more than 500 entries, was announced in November 2006.[4][5]
