Fab campaign and feel inspired by what you have done. We want to brighten up a health centre with some new younger displays that represent the mums that we are trying to attract.
Please let us know if you ever release your posters for sale.

Are your pictures of teen mother’s breastfeeding in poster format for sale? I think they are great and am interested in possibly buying some for our local WIC office (Women Infants and Childrens Governmental Nutrition Programme) in North Carolina, USA to promote breastfeeding to the teen mothers.

There’s a new government sponsored breastfeeding helpline linked (so far) to ABM and BFN, both long running breastfeeding support groups. 08442090920
