Hi all! I have something to share for those of you who need a last minute
idea for World Breastfeeding week. Last year at our Health Department we
took a camera around and photographed staff who had ever breastfed to use in
a collage type poster. We included men whose wives or significant other had
breastfed. You can cut the photos around the head and shoulders so that it
is just the person with none of the background and arrange them on
posterboard in a pyramid shape or whatever works. On the top of the our
poster in Caps.: We Breasfed!
Underneath photos: YOU Can , TOO! The poster was placed in the hallway
leading to all clinics. I think it is great for the theme of empowerment. It
can be used each year with added photos of new mothers. The poster
generated much interest among staff and patients and was definitely easy on
our very meager budget. (Babies were not included in ours.)
