As our Mommy Monday readers have
probably gathered, here at the Good Life we support breastfeeding 101%. In our continued
effort to promote, protect and support breastfeeding, we bring you an exciting
new initiative stared by dietitian Nazeeia Sayed.
Dear colleagues and friends,
The recent excitement around
the breastfeeding summit in South Africa has spurred me to action!
It started with 2 photographs
During the 2010 SA nutrition
congress, a colleague and I had a presentation on infant feeding messages
and the media. At the end of the
presentation, we used 2 photos of us breastfeeding our children. I was very surprised by the personal
questions and reaction that these photographs initiated.
And then I wondered - wouldn't it be great to
get these similar conversations started in the broader public arena? And wouldn't it also be great if we as
nutrition/dietetic health care professionals could show our support and share
our personal experiences of breastfeeding with others?
The idea
Sparked by my fellow colleagues, I
am initiating a breastfeeding photo book (in my personal capacity). I will seek sponsorship for the
printing and marketing of the publication once I gauge your response.
How you can help
Please email me good
quality photo/s of you breastfeeding your child, and one of you with your
child at current age, as well as your story of your breastfeeding
experience. (Word document, Arial font
12, single spacing, and max 1 page)
Deadline for submission: Friday 28th
October 2011
You can email me at my work email: nazeeia.sayed@unilever.com
I will contact you again once I
start sifting through the info received and start organising the material. I am looking forward to your contributions!
Kind regards,
Nazeeia Sayed RD (SA)
