World Breastfeeding Week July 31, 2007

Scheduled to be launched by the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) in conjunction with affiliates in 120 countries. In Birmingham, the Good Hope and Solihull Hospitals had a series of skin-to-skin photos taken of local mothers with their babies, some with fathers as well. These will be displayed around the maternity hospitals as portraits and developed into posters and a leaflet for distribution to pregnant women.
