More breastfeeding ad campaigns.

A while back I posted about my favorite breastfeeding ad campaign, but I recently learned of two more that I think are great.

First, check out these great public service announcements from the Virginia Department of Health.  You'll need Quicktime or something like it to view them.

The first, called "Weight Loss," looks just like a Jenny Craig commercial at first, complete with giant pants.  I'm sure that this will ring true for some of you, and not for others. 

The second is my favorite.  It's called "Grandmother" and shows a grandmother talking about her daughter's commitment to breastfeeding.

One called "No Fever" emphasizes health benefits (to my mind, there are far more compelling ones to highlight, but that's okay) and the effect of overall health on school attendance.

Another, called "Free" highlights the financial cost of not breastfeeding.  Considering the current state of our economy, this is probably an even more compelling argument these days.

The final three pictures are the winners of a British contest held at an art school, sponsored by the charity Best Beginnings, a British charity devoted to break down inequalities in child health.  I think they're clever, eye-catching, and use humor really effectively.  You can see the video the students watched before designing their ads here.
