Greetings! Our local Breastfeeding Coalition met this morning and one of our members came up with an idea we have accepted as part of our recognition of World Breastfeeding Week. We plan to distribute gold ribbons for people to wear in support of breastfeeding (the Gold Standard). We'll buy a spool or two of gold ribbon, cut into short lengths, and attach with pins. Seems like a good symbol in light of all the other ribbons people wear to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness, Child Abuse Prevention, etc. Our hospital again plans to have a display of our employees' breastfed babies for WBW. The announcement for collection of photos will go out on June 1st, so we'll have them in time to make a nice display to place near our cafeteria.
