Is this the best way to promote breastfeeding? The big boob appeared in the streets of London on UK Mother’s Day. It is meant to spark conversations about a woman’s right to breastfeed. But did it?

The UK sadly has the lowest rate of breastfeeding in the world. A recent Public Health England (PHE) survey found that women are avoiding breastfeeding because they are embarrassed.

The organisers behind the campaign are a London agency, Mother London. They explained the big boob was flying the flag for shame-free, guilt-free feeding choices, for all women.

“It’s hard to believe that in 2017, UK mothers still feel watched and judged when feeding in public, by bottle or breast.”

“This is a celebration of every woman’s right to decide how and where they feed their children without feeling guilty or embarrassed about their parenting choices,” a rep from Mother London explained, tagging their update #FreeTheFeed.”

The unique approach to sparking conversation certainly attracted a response on Twitter.

Does this shout breastfeeding rights to you?

  • Great idea but probably miseed the mark. Could have indicated many things, not just breastfeeding.

    As a side note, how terribly sad that the UK (supposedly a progressive nation) has the lowest rate of breastfeeding in the world!

  • I think it’s great to get people talking about boobs. Whether it’s breast feeding, bras or self checking for breast cancer.

  • Is Mothers Day in March in UK? Why only one? We have two breasts?

  • It could mean Women’s Health or it could mean breast cancer awareness? It needs a baby to signify breast feeding or have a message attached somewhere. Good idea – but needs a few extras to get the message across.

  • not even close, maybe they should have attached a giant baby to it


    • I agree – it would help to signify Mother’s Day.
