ideas for posters
The group I go to is trying to think of some ideas for bf posters for
National Breastfeeding week in May. I'd like a poster of LARGE NAKED BREASTS with the strapline 'Not just for selling beer' which I'm sure I nicked off someone in this group... Anyone got any other ideas? ROSIE |

What our group did that we went to was took pictures of all of us
breastfeeding and of our babies and did a big poster will all of them there. -- Laura, TTC #2 Mommy to Izabella **Feb 10th, 2003** And 2 felines *Ashes(3) & George (5)* http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/i/izabellawelburn/ "Rosie" wrote in message ...

I think your idea is cute, but I think you should also include a picture of
someone nursing discreetly, to counteract the perception that bf is somehow immodest. Leslie |

While I love iphig's slogan about the beer, I think that is a little *too* attention-getting and unfortunately, it would attract the wrong type of attention. I think an image with a mom and baby nursing in a loving way would be received much better. JMO, of course. -- JennP. mom to Matthew 10/11/00 remove "no........spam" to reply |

I agree with the idea of portraying BF as a loving act. Have you seen Jack Newman talking about how in materials put out by formula companies, the FF mom is always clearly married with a husband snuggled up with her and the baby and lots of eye contact made with the baby, whereas BF moms tend to be shown alone with no wedding ring, not looking at the baby, and a lot more exposed than they really need to be? -- tristyn www.tristyn.net "i have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. i do not think that they will sing to me." |

Not only ads, but also every single article I think I've ever seen about breastfeeding has shown way more skin than I normally do! I don't think I've *ever* seen a published photo of a mom bf'ing with the "shirt pulled up" method that I and many, many other moms use! Which may be why so many women think they need a shawl in order to bf in public (which I've never done.) Irene |

How about something about mummy milk coming in lovely packages? teapot hehehe! That's very funny. There have been lots of discreet bf campaigns (esp. last year - the Dept. of Health put out loads of this sort of poster) - I was thinking of something more in-your-face and less 'earnest'. ROSIE |

ROSIE Silly story....At family parties we make sure that everyone labels their plastic drinking cups with their name/nickname/other identifier. (helps everyone keep track of their drink and keeps folks from wasting another cup because they can't find theirs.) I've taken to writing: got boobie? on mine. Cracks everyone up! I'm hoping my poor little guy isn't going to be too messed up from having BF/"are you hungry?"/"wanna eat?" being referred to as "Boobie? Want some boobie?" Dunno you'd need permission from the milk folks. I've seen other commercials using the got ____? phrase, so i dunno. Chris. (who is expecting boobie to be my little guy's first word |

chris was all, like:
I'm hoping my poor little guy isn't going to be too messed up from having BF/"are you hungry?"/"wanna eat?" being referred to as "Boobie? Want some boobie?" I've wondered the same thing. BF is routinely referred to this way in my house. It's cute, now, he's just starting to respond to the question with clear anticipation. Chris.
