Thought that would get your attention!

Little Angels is a little volunteer group, set up in a low income, 
working class area, to support breastfeeding.  Or rather, it was this: 
it's now a 22 staff strong community business, supporting breastfeeding 
directly in the local maternity hospital (it gives one to one support 
for all Mums who wish to breastfeed, including home visits.)

It is, however, still run by, and aimed for, young low income mothers.  
They've just launched a new breastfeeding awareness campaign, called "Be 
A Star" with their own teenage Mums in the photos.  The posters are 
available for purchase if others wish to use them in their own 
breastfeeding support work.  The Mums pictured range from 17-23.

The campaign blog is on:  http://www.beastar.org.uk/

The full range of posters/Mums is on:

And Little Angels is on:  http://www.littleangels.org.uk/

There is a video to come.
