This is the International Breastfeeding Symbol.
It is available to share freely for non commercial gain.
It is used by businesses and public locations to show acceptance of breastfeeding families, and I think it's great! Anything that normalises breastfeeding as the optimal food for babies is a great help.
Here is a link to some places that this symbol has been seen in use:
And a photo of some famous friends!
I've breastfed my 3 boys in so many places over the 7 years I've been a mum, but the support I've had from my managers at work has been awesome - when my oldest was a baby he would visit me every work day for a lunch time feed in the tea room at work. Never an eyelid batted by colleagues, always just a friendly hello. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all libraries displayed 'Breastfeeding welcome here' stickers, available from the Australian Breastfeeding Association? You can request one for your workplace here:
good, interesting, and important information.
ReplyDeleteI thought your idea of "Breastfeeding welcome here" stickers would be a great idea. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThe only problem with breastfeeding is that my wife doesn't want to get back into running while she is breastfeeding. I need the running partner and the motivation. Hurry up and get onto solids boy!
ReplyDeleteI personally have nothing against breastfeeding in public, but unfortunately there are still the old fuddy duddies out there who frown upon. Breastfeeding is a very natural and beautiful thing.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that we have to advertise that it is an acceptable practice in certain places disturbs me terribly. It's time that it was sociably acceptable everywhere and that businesses who discriminate should be penalized.
