For all you mamas breastfeeding and living in Michigan
Request for photos
As part of World Breastfeeding Week (Aug 1-7) and Breastfeeding Awareness Month (August), the Michigan Breastfeeding Network will be encouraging mothers to share pictures of themselves breastfeeding "anytime anywhere". It's an effort to normalize nursing and demonstrate we can breastfeed anywhere at any time. During the week and month, we'll ask moms to share photos using certain hashtags on our page. But we know some people need inspiration or encouragement by seeing other photos first. We're seeking photos to use on our page to get the ball rolling. If you're comfortable with the MIBFN sharing your photo, please email the photo to communications@mibreastfeeding.org Share where the photo was taken and age of baby.
Thank you!
