Breastfeeding calendar?

[VictorianSqualor]

After seeing some of the beautiful pictures on the breastfeeding photos thread and watching the nude photoshoot on Young Mums Mansion the other day I've had a look for some breastfeeding calendars and it seems there are but two.

One of which just looks like playgroup type pictures, the other is the IBFAN calendar.
If I were to arrange (hopefully in conjunction with MN and the new Breastfeeding helpline) a calendar would you buy it? pose for it?

Hopefully MrsBadger won't mind me linking to this post, but this is the type of thing I was thinking.
Something arty that shows the real beauty of breastfeeding.

Would also be greatful to hear from anyone who is, or knows a photographer or a great location for the pictures.

It would have to be for 2009 now so I'd think we have plenty of time.

lol, number 9 could have been my DH holding my boob up whilst I latched DS

I like the ideas bumper but I think some of the myths need to be more technical, like the hindmilk/foremilk issue, and restarting breastfeeding after an unsuccessful beginning, not sure how we'd put those into context in pictures though.
Definitely need twins and/or tandem or even pg feeders for at least one photo to show that we can produce enough milk for them, we could maybe lump them in together and have the MYTH as 'you can only BF/make milk one baby'.
I'll start another thread about Myths of breastfeeding and see what the most common ones are because they're the ones we want to expel.
Great ideas though, with yours and beros list we've really got some things coming together.
Also thanks to MrBumper

this sounds really good so far i have to say.

I've just thought of another one, bfing and going back to work.

I guess the pics don't have to totally reflect the idea as we wouldn't expect the picture to convey the info alone, we can think laterally about it.

Breastfeeding with implants.

Watching what you eat when you breastfeed as spicy food will stop baby feeding.

Breastfeeding should hurt/never hurts.

oooh, maybe a bit late but i'd buy it and i'd pose for it! dd is 7 months now.

I was surprised at how many of my friends having babies are totally against bf ( early 20's) so i'm with the one about only xxx age bf. And im going back to work next month and plan to still bf so im agree with the one about back to work too.

Fab idea BTW xx

I'm in wales btw if i can help in any way here? ( im no photographer though!!)

Number 10: Me feeding Jaz at swimming poolside today

Oooh lisa you should be over here

i posted!

Had a quick scroll through thread and can't see too many older kids, so happy to offer my weirdo services if necessary - DS2 is still going strong at 3y 3m. He is also very photogenic, which might make up for the fact that I am not. I'm in Surrey.

Oh he is gorgeous, PW!!! He'd make a lovely pic!

Quick question about photos in places such as museums, churches etc., think this may have been mentioned but can't remember, would we need to get permission from the relevant parties before publication?
I was thinking of asking one of the curates at my church if she would mind having a photo taken with me bfing ds (she is VERY pro-bf), just having a chat after the service (might be a bit impractical during!). I think I would need to clear it with out new vicar, who doesn't start until May though. Could others who are church goers manage similar?

I had another idea - how about a photo of someone bfing in a cafe/restaurant... sat where the door to the baby change facility is in shot? This would really send a message about the most appropriate place to feed - i.e. not in a toilet!

hee yes, we should have a little insert on each page of a sad mummy bf-ing in the grimmest feeding rooms we can find!

I'll ask about bf in church bt - and yes, it's amazing to think that M is 6 months old now!

Oh, and as for age, ethnicity - I'm white, 37 & buxom!

honey2theb - are you Charlotte Church?

Now wouldn't that be a coup ....

If she is Charlotte Church could be a great sleb endorsement!!

You know I did actually think of seeing if any sleb BFers would endorse it, not sure I could cope with the likes of Myleene Klass though

stupid stupid stupid...

for some reason I just can't put photos on my profile.

DS was looking adorable while having his 2nd breakfast this morning, and the camera was in reach. So...

We can only do under the arm feeding so far, my boobs seem to be too wide for him to latch on with him lying across me. Might he be able to when his head (and therefore mouth) is a bit bigger?

Awwww, methinks that baby has recently had a bath, look at his hair

haha yep, bathed this morning!

What a wonderful wabbit.

Am totally not photogenic, but DS is, and he's 22 months. As long as you don't want pictures of what DH calls 'suck and maul', I'd be willing.

well done the rabbit

VS, I will e-mail you, but our untrusty old pooter is playing up and I can't access my mail account , so am on DHs laptop at the moment. I should be up and running again tomorrow, but am still up for organising a Northern shoot.

lol, nope not charlotte church. If ya'd looked at my profile you'd see im no sleb!! lol!

ooooh im going to turkey next month, and now i cant wait to take some bf pics. i must be mad!! wont get my baby belly in though!!

what about no.11 " you cant bf and have a social life" Mine is better than ever
