The ABA sells these cards to hand out to women. I bought some recently at the ABA Qld Conference. The cards I bought are much nicer than these ones in your link. They are worded much nicer and have the ABA logo etc on them with the website so Mum's know that support is available (if and when required).
I think if someone had given me one while I was out breastfeeding in public, I would have thought it was so nice of them. It wouldn't have creeped me out at all.... everyone is different though.
Heaven, if you're interested in seeing the ABA one's I have, let me know I can scan one for you and email it to you so you see what they are.
Sorry I think I agree with Matryoshka (but I gotta spread the love hun!).
I wouldn't be creeped out - I would definitely feel encouraged, but as I quit BFing to help cope with my depression I have bottle fed as well and I would feel very hurt. People don't know anything about other people and their circumstances, KWIM?
Breastfeeding welcome here signs would be much more positive - I guess we dont see it as a necessity as it is discrimination not to 'welcome' it - but it would be a nice reminder for us when we are feeling a bit on show I suppose.
I think they are grat! I am going to print them out and give them to women Given I am likely to have my two boys in tow while out shopping, I suspect the feeding woman would take it as encouragement from a fellow-BF'er than anything creepy....
What a gorgeous idea! May prefer the ABA ones if they're worded better but how lovely! There's so much negativity on the subject now that it would be nice to see something so positve for a change! Would definitely put a smile on my dial
