The Breastfeeding Witch, For Your Halloween Enjoyment!

Friday October 31, 2008

This photo of "The Witch Lactation Station," was part of a Halloween display in Brattleboro, Vermont. Lauren and David Petrie, the creators of this fantastic work of art, drew tons of controversy as a result. Breastfeeding in public is always a hot topic and even though this breast was a mere gourd, it made it onto CBS news in Boston. If you've got any similar Halloween ideas and have taken pictures, please feel free to send them my way and I'd love to post them! Halloween witch

Even little gourds and bouys need to breastfeed! I see this as humorous and not at all offensive.

I love fun ways to raise awareness of important issues. If enough people are exposed to breastfeeding, it promotes its acceptance in our culture.
