Vote for a new breastfeeding symbol!
Mothering Magazine is running a contest to choose a new symbol for breastfeeding. Inspired by seeing a sign with a bottle signifying a place for parents, Mothering asked readers to develop a symbol for a breastfeeding-friendly place.
They'll be making the winning image available for use in workplaces, airports, malls, restaurants, and any public places.
You can vote for your favorite here. I think my favorites are #2 (shown here) and #4. You can also see some of the ones that made the Mothering editors smile here. My favorite of those is below.
Which which one will get your vote?
Thanks to Lex, who interns in the breastfeeding clinic with me, for suggesting this as a posting. Some of you have alerted me to breastfeeding stories in the news, which is great. Keep the suggestions coming!



Some of those are really beautiful.

I would vote for #5. But personally, my favorite is one of the ones that didn't make it....the twelfth one-- the big boob and the open mouth.
