2006 WBW
Activities In Singapore In conjunction with World Breastfeeding Week, which is celebrated all over the world in the month of August, BMSG is organising the first ever mini-carnival that celebrates breastfeeding! It’s called “BreastFest – A Family Festival Celebrating Breastfeeding”. The carnival objectives are:
BreastFest aims to make breastfeeding as friendly and acceptable a practice nation-wide. BreastFest will feature:
Addressing the topic “Making Breastfeeding a Mother’s Best Friend’, BMSG has invited doctors, a lactation consultant and celebrity moms to speak and share their experiences. 2. Nurse in Style Breastfeeding makes a fashion statement here with Jeffrey Chung Models! This Fashion Show will feature Nursing Wear, coupled with the Sale of Nursing Wear by Local and International Labels.
Inspired by Manila’s World Record of 3,738 simultaneously breastfeeding mothers, BMSG attempts to set our own very National Record. This will be our first simultaneous breastfeeding event.
This photography exhibition bears testament that Breastfeeding is an Art! The exhibition features 10 Black and White images of mothers from all walks of life, and the intimacy that entails when a woman breastfeeds. BMSG is planning for this exhibition to travel the island as a means of public education. BREASTography is brought to you by The Pond Photography. For images on BREASTopgraphy, please click here.
Breastfeeding takes a technological twist as BMSG invites the local blogger community to share their experiences in breastfeeding.
