The Public Breast Feeding Awareness Programme was founded in 2013 by Leilani Rogers with a simple aim; to normalise breastfeeding around the world. PBFA is a group of 75 talented photographers from around the world who are working hard to normalise breastfeeding in public, by showing the beauty of breastfeeding in real life. In 2014 PBAP went viral and has since been published in The Huffington Post, Redbook Magazine, The Stir/Cafemom and Babycenter. You can find the best of #PBAP2014 in all your social news feeds!

We’ve picked some of our faves below including one from a Muslim mother who said

“Breastfeeding is the most special thing about my relationship with my daughter, it is a special bond between her and I, no words can explain how grateful I am for it. As a Muslim woman, like any other women, my experience of breastfeeding is a privilege that my body has, I am able to provide essential nutrients to my daughter. Islam values motherhood by encouraging the mom to breastfeed her child until she turns 24 months. Breastfeeding is not easy, but with patience and confidence; my religion has motivated me to continue breastfeeding as long as my daughter needs.” ~Mary & Dalia (7 months)
