F.A.Q.
What's B.O.O.B. all about?
B.O.O.B. is committed to supporting breastfeeding mothers everywhere. B.O.O.B. is an online community conversation, both practical and philosophical, about how our society does and does not support breastfeeding. While the American Association of Pediatrics advocates that all infants are breastfed until they are at least one year of age, our social mores often prevent a mother from feeding her child in public without being leered at, or at worst, fined for indecent exposure. To date only 38 states have laws protecting a mother's right to breastfeed her child wherever and whenever the child is hungry. The purpose of the B.O.O.B. project is to show which places have embraced breastfeeding, and are currently helping to better integrate it into our society. B.O.O.B. seeks to let new mothers easily find these locations throughout Austin, Texas, and beyond.
Who started B.O.O.B.?
B.O.O.B. is an interactive, site-specific, utilitarian, and philosophical artwork begun by Belle South founder Chasity Gordon and new media artist Jessica Gomula. The project explores the question of where in Austin would visiting breastfeeding mothers be welcome to nurse during the South By South West Interactive conference. They believe the easy to use, and easy to integrate Google-map will be a welcome resource for the mothers attending SXSW, and more importantly, as a long term resource for all new mothers living in the Austin area.
I know of a breastfriendly / babyfriendly location!
Wonderful! Please tell us about it in any one of the comment sections.
