In digital form for a display I'm making for world breastfeeding week. I'll take any age child, singletons, multiples, whatever. I need to display them - many people will see them. My email follows... send them on!!! I'l post a pic of the finished display! Thanks ladies
I'm using all I get. Before I had a baby, I'd never seen one nurse. I think there are lots of people like that. I'll show as many as I can!!!
Thank you!!!
If anyone has a pic with a mom nursing & a dad looking on or snuggled up with them that would be awesome. I'd like to have a dad pictured if possible. Also, any asian or african-american mamas nursing would be cool too. Thanks!!!!
Thank you joyfulhands & the mama who sent the family in the hospital with the newborn nursing. Thank you guys so much. This is one of the nights that I love MDC so so much.
Today is a day that I feel like the MDC mamas are my very best friends!!!
Here's the pics of all of you & your beautiful babies. I tried to use at least one from everyone who was so kind & took the time to send me pics. If I didn't - let me know because it was an accident & the pic must be saved in the wrong file
:
I'd still like more african american mamas (I only have one, and I don't think that's statistically accurate - haha) if anyone has a pic to share, or even a stock pic I can use, send it on. I checked WHO, but could only find Indian mamas, one of which I used. I'll post pics from the event Sat evening. I can't say thanks enough!!! I plan to use this for other LLL events, so if anyone has any objections, speak up now!!!
ALSO - I used one pic without permission. It's of a dark haired mama with blue highlights nursing a dark haired babe in a sling. She's at the NYC View nurse-in holding a "Breastfeed anytime baby's hungry, anywhere you are" sign. I tried to find out who she is to ask her permission, but have had no luck. If anyone knows, please put her in contact with me. I'm going on the assumption that she went to the nurse in for media attention, so I can't imagine she'd care if I use the pic for such a great reason, but I will gladly remove it if that's her wish. She's one cool mama (hot mama too
) either way. I put her pic next to the letter saying "Im glad we can cuddle up & nurse wherever we are - no fuss" so I thought it fit beautifully.
A GIANT THANKS TO THE 24 HOUR DAIRY QUEEN, ANETTEMARIE for the text for these letters. I totally copied her idea from another thread, and wouldn't have come up with anything this cool without her.
Ok this may be vane but I looked pretty good for 21 hrs of labor and a 9lb7oz boy!!
: I felt like crap but my sister made me put on lipstick and take my hair out of the ponytail before she let anyone take pics.<thank you sis!> It was only 20 months ago but seems like both yesterday and a lifetime. "our" pic is the hospital w/ daddy.
Glad to help I hope it encourages at least 1 more momma to try bfing

You look awesome!!! I laughtd when I saw it b/c I thought there was another mom like me who felt the need to put on make up & do her hair within hours of giving birth. Turns out that was your sister though! :LOL That's a good pic for this occasion as it's sponsored by a hospital that I'm trying to help out. It's nice to have the nursing pic in the hospital setting to show it can work there too
I'm adding the final 3 pics this morning. One of mam dad & nursing baby in the hospital, a close up of a tiny nurser, and mom & baby lounging in the bed. Thatn's guys so much - I'll post again tonight with pics of the event.

My sis and I had a deal I would let NO hideous post baby pics of her exist and she did the same for me. Amazing what a brush and lipstick will do for you!! After labor & delivery as every momma knows you forget stuff like that we chuckle she was my makeup doula. I highly suggest all pre delivering moms appoint one.
Make up doula!!! :LOL I added pics of the event display to this link. Turns out this was supposed to be at a local mall for a health fair & after they found out it was "breastfeeding" we were turned down. As soon as I get contact info I'll be posting a new thread & I'd appreciate your emails to those loosers. Thanks so much guys. We got some pictures taken by local media & I handed aout tons of LLL info. It's going till 2, so hopefully lots more will get done!
