I just received the latest USPS catalog. There are 28 stamps due to be released in 1998. Just to give you an idea of some of the concepts that might pave the way for a breastfeeding stamp, here are some of the subjects: Philanthropy: "Giving and Sharing, An American Tradition" depicted by a flower and bee motif: "the botanical depiction represents a symbiotic relationship where both parties are giving and benefitting like a bee and a flower. This stamp honors all the generous Americans who contribute annually to their favorite causes" Organ and Tissue Donation: "Share your life" depicted by two stylized humans hugging : "As medical technology moves toward the 21st century,each year thousands of people will live longer and better lives bec. of organ and tissue donation.By issuing this stamp, the Postal Service hopes to increase public awareness of the need for organ and tissue donors." Hospice Care: depicted by a butterfly flitting over a house and tree: "Hospice is holistic,team-oriented care program that seeks to treat and comfort terminally ill patients and their families at home or in a home like setting. The Postal Service proudly pays tribute to all the volunteers and paid professionals who made hospice care possible" >From the above, it certainly seems we should be able to come up with a breastfeeding theme. Fight World Hunger Salute to Motherhood etc How about a holiday stamp that depicts breastfeeding? The USPS has been known to censor paintings that reveal more of the the couple than they are comfortable with.... Go, girls! Pearl Shifer, IBCLC NYC P.S.
