May 3, 2007: Phillipines sets breast feeding record

Undertoad · 05-03-2007, 07:56 AM

Sycamore suggests this item: good for them - and good for their babies, these Filipinos are setting the world record for most number of simultaneously breast-feeding moms. They already had the record for a single location, this time they were going for the most in multiple locations, and managed about 4,000 moms in the effort.

Not many large-size images of this event, but I managed to find this pair. The purpose of the event was to promote the practice; apparently the culture prefers formula, and they want moms to go natural.

Don't know if this is a theme now, with the crying babies going up yesterday, but in any case the theme continues on Saturday (or Friday if no good animal pics show up).

It looks very warm in that room. Notice they all have free fans with advertising on them? Looks like a political ad.

Somehow, this reminds me of Iggy.

If this doesn't prove that I'm a breast man, nothing will.

Which pair?

Mostly I just see one here and one there.

Some of those kids seem awfully big. I bet they have teeth.

Ever tried to feed a baby that isn't hungry? They must have starved them beforehand

(and not one of them hidden under a blanket or in a toilet cubicle :p)

Shameful. Disgusting. If God had wanted us to breast feed babies, he would have provided mammals with brea...oh.
