2010 Rugby Breastfeeding Calendar
I think this is a GREAT idea!
It’s a sad fact that we still live in an era where women can still be chastised for breastfeeding in public (or even worse, at work! Gasp!). There are also many women choose to not breastfeed at all, even if there’s no medical reason not to.
The Breastfeeding Cafe in the town of Rugby in England is working to release a calendar featuring photos of breastfeeding women.
I’ve never heard of a breastfeeding cafe, but it’s exactly what it sounds like: a comfortable place for mums to go and socialise and connect with other mums while getting up-to-date information about breastfeeding and connecting with professionals in the industry.
The 2010 calendar is due to go on sale in September and profits will allow this cafe in Rugby to continue to support its local community.
Do you know of a breastfeeding cafe in Australia?
Especially sad as there is a law in Australia that specifically allows women to breastfeed anywhere they could legally be if they weren’t breastfeeding.
Much like the law that allows pregnant women to urinate anywhere in public as well….
Lots of Cafes and resturants have “Breast Feeding Welcome Here” signs in their windows, which is an initiative of the Australian Breastfeeding Association
