Every year our hospital community relations department designs ads to
advertise our WBFW seminar. Every year we submit sample pictures of
mothers discreetly nursing to include in the ad. It is always turned
down as they don't think it would be appropriate to show a nursing
couple, and they come up with something like pictures of children, or of
babies being held, and one year even a bottle with an "X" on it to talk
about breastfeeding. This year they wanted to have mothers standing
by a garden to state that breastfeeding was "nature's first food." Our
director who is very pro breastfeeding has asked that I try to get any
sample ads that anyone else may have used that show nursing babies and
their mothers. What was the community reaction? Have you seen that
the ads increased the interest in breastfeeding? We are hopeful that
if we can prove that these ads can be very discreet and successful our
public relations dept might be convinced to allow the pictures we
choose, showing breastfeeding babies. Thank you for any information
you can share.
