Sheila, where did you get the pictures?  This sounds like a great idea.
Would someone care to make a kit of poster sized pictures appropriate for
the purpose?

I may have mentioned this before on this list, but my LLL group did a
promotion for WBW several years ago that actually encouraged people to look,
stare and  even study the nursing women in the pictures to see if they could
see anything!

We set up our display at the mall, offering a draw prize for one of the
correct answers to "Which woman in the picture is NOT breastfeeding?" Each
picture portrayed the mother in a normal situation: at the park, sitting at
a computer, in the mall, etc.  You couldn't tell if she was cuddling the
baby or nursing, so it was a great chance for people to get right up close
and check for themselves! While they were checking the pictures, we had a
captive audience! We'd talk about how there were nursing mothers all over
the place, you just didn't notice. Or give information about La Leche
League, or breastfeeding in general, or listen to what they had to tell us
about their experiences with breastfeeding.

This was followed up with a full-page article in our local newspaper where
the pictures were reprinted for all to see, and the winner announced,
accompanied by a blurb about the importance of breastfeeding.
