WABA Breastfeeding Photo Contest Winners

Angela White, J.D., breastfeeding counselor — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 05:52:13 +0000

The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) has announced the 10 winners of its annual breastfeeding photo contest. This year the contest centered around the 2009 theme of “Breastfeeding: A Vital Emergency Response. Are You Ready?”

Breastfeeding: A Vital Emergency Response

The photos are fascinating but heart-wrenching in some cases, like the image of the woman who was a victim of domestic violence. Here I am grateful to be nursing my baby through a simple case of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, and there are women breastfeeding in relief camps, in war zones, in areas severely damaged by an earthquake. You can view all of the photos in WABA’s 2009 World Breastfeeding Week Action folder (large PDF download), or you can view them temporarily on the WABA WBW home page.

Looking for a last-minute calendar for 2007 or just want to see some beautiful and thought-provoking breastfeeding photos? Try these offerings from around the world (note: I don’t have any affiliation with these groups). Entries that start with asterisks **** include copies of each month’s photo on-line:

**** Australians might enjoy the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) 2007 calendar (gorgeous photos if you just want to take a peek!) for AUD $15.00 including GST.

**** Lucky residents of Sonoma County, California might find paper versions of the 2007 Breastfeeding Calendar at area hospitals and health clinics (everyone else can click on the link to watch the slide show). After January 1, 2007, area moms can submit their own photos in the 2007 photo contest for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate.
