maria lactans

Lately I've been coming across some interesting images of Mary (mother of Jesus) squirting milk at some saint. The first time I saw it, I have to admit that I did a double take, but I wasn't too surprised. Catholicism seems to be full of weirdness like this- people getting swallowed by whales, flowers appearing out of nowhere, statues coming to life and squirting breast milk at you. Nothing out of the ordinary here, you know.

The pictures represent the the story of Saint Bernard. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) knelt one day in front of a statue of the Virgin and Child and asked her, “Show yourself to be a mother.”  While in a dream-like trance, Mary responded by pressing her breast near his lips and nourishing him with her milk.


The story seems to have spread from Spain, and is shown a few different ways: with Mary shooting milk at his mouth (representing an oracle being received), at his eyes (representing clairvoyance), or at his forehead (representing wisdom being received).

We're almost off on our trip! Baby S and I are going to New York for a week.

Enjoy the end of World Breastfeeding Week!

nikki mcclure

I've found my new favorite artist: Nikki McClure

This beautiful card is entitled "Examine the Food Chain". I've seen this image before, but didn't have any luck finding a place to purchase it. I would like to get it for my lactation consultant to add to the breastfeeding images that cover her wall.

Now I can! Nikki's work is available on buyolympia.com

Check out this Spanish language campaign by UNICEF to promote breastfeeding!

Question: How can breast milk compete with formula? Known brands like Nestle are trusted, have attractive packaging, and can spend millions of dollars on advertising and promotion.

Answer: Put breast milk in an attractive package, on the shelf, in direct competition with the formula!

Well, not exactly. UNICEF's 2010 Spanish language marketing campaign in Venezuela put this (empty) package on the shelves next to the formula:

Translation: A magical product that makes your baby stop crying.
