International Breastfeeding Symbol

The image of a baby bottle on an airport sign announcing the location of a "parents lounge" infuriated us and got us thinking: Isn't there an international symbol for breastfeeding? There was not, so Mothering hosted a contest to create one. The winning image came from Matt Daigle of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Follow the links below for the full story of the symbol's creation, as well as downloads, images of the symbol in use and more. You can also purchase the symbol as a sticker, temporary tattoo or as a t-shirt in the Mothering Shop
