The most beautiful photos of breastfeeding mothers by Polish photographers: editorial selection
There is a holiday that is worth celebrating for more than one day a year. It starts on August 1, which is when we celebrate World Breastfeeding Day. We start the week-long celebration with this date, because the World Breastfeeding Week lasts from 1 to 7 August. This event has been with us since 1992. Currently, over 120 countries take part in its celebrations!
World Breastfeeding Day: ePositive calendar page
Going back to history, it can be indicated that the celebration of the World Breastfeeding Day was established in 1990 thanks to the initiative of the organization: World Alliance for Action (WABA), UNICEF and World Health Organization (WHO) to promote the health benefits of the most natural and organic method of feeding a newborn baby - breastfeeding.
Every year, it is a special time for women - just as unique is the bond that arises when a newborn is fed with mother's milk.
World Breastfeeding Week is a symbolic commemoration of the August 1, 1990 in Florence Innocenti Declaration regarding Protection, Promotion and Support of Breastfeedingwhich was also signed by Poland.
The benefits of breastfeeding
Promoting breastfeeding around the world not only contributes to improving the health of our children. As the most ecological and natural method of feeding, it brings many benefits to mothers, entire families, and even ... societies.
It is widely recognized that the food produced in a woman's breast is the healthiest and richest in nutrients essential for the development of a baby. Provides everything a baby needs in the first days, weeks and months of life. In addition, it is indicated that in babies fed with mother's milk, the risk of developing many infections, more serious diseases and the likelihood of allergies is reduced.
According to WHO recommendations, breastfeeding should accompany you (preferably) for the first six months of your baby's life - with subsequent supplemental feeding for at least a year.
Breastfeeding also has a number of benefits for women. Starting with the most important one: that is, the unique bond created between mother and child, to reducing stress and relieving tension thanks to oxytocin released during feeding. Breastfeeding also has a positive effect on the contraction of the uterus and reduces the likelihood of postpartum hemorrhages. It is also believed to contribute to the reduction of the risk of developing osteoporosis and ovarian and breast cancer.
You are a wonderful mom!
Dear moms! At the same time, remember - for all the essence and benefits of breastfeeding - life writes different scenarios. We cannot predict some of them, and each one has to be bravely faced. Also possible problems with breastfeeding and the choice of alternative methods of feeding the baby. It is our life, our choices and our children. Each of us is different.
Fortunately, however, being a mom is not the most important thing if you are KP (breastfeeding), KPI (breastfeeding differently), if MM (feeding with modified milk).
Above all, it is a great feeling that you have for your baby and proper care and concern for your baby makes you the best mothers in the world!

I have carefully selected, charming surroundings and I have twenty in one place. What was created as a result is not only a perfect souvenir and memory for women. It is also a great symbol of diversity. After all, each of us is different - but at the same time just as wonderful at being a mother.
11 wonderful women and their children. An unusual photo, which is symbolic in character by the fact that the midwives are standing in front of the lens. Women who not only take care of future and newly minted mothers, but also those mothers. For many of them, this session is the crowning achievement of the ups and downs associated with lactation and the birth itself. For us - extraordinary photography, which definitely could not be missing from this collection.

Pictures from home sessions give your photos a personal touch. They allow you to convey the most intimate emotions flowing from photography. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a mother and her baby in an environment where they feel best - at home, in their favorite room, on their favorite bed.

Is there anything more touching than a baby's loving and trusting gaze at its mother? It seems to us that this type of emotion is hard to compete with. Especially in such climatic and family photography.
Objectively the most beautiful
What will happen if we combine the strength of the female body and motherly love in one photo? And to emphasize the effect, we will add the photographer's perspective, who will also capture a handful of emotions flowing from the background with his careful eye. The above result. A photo full of feelings that touched us personally.

How about a tandem? Apparently, where two of them fight - the third is there. However, it seems that in these natural circumstances, everyone is content. At the very thought, we feel like a little escape outside the city. Beautiful, warm frame!
Ewelina's photos
The first days with a baby and successful attempts at breastfeeding - still in a hospital setting. These are definitely the moments that belong to the priceless and worth capturing category.

Mom, Dad and ... me. We feel that this photo will be an amazing souvenir for the baby and his parents. So much love and positive emotions gathered in one place. It's definitely great that you can lock them in the frame, thus keeping them not only in the heart, but also in the frame - for many years.
Time of love
Skin-to-skin contact is always a very intimate moment - both for the baby and his mother. And when we add the moment of breastfeeding to it ... This special moment, captured from an unusual perspective, undoubtedly captivated us with its simplicity and delicacy.
Toddler in the frame
Or maybe such a small escape from reality? Breastfeeding while traveling is possible, which is definitely what this staff convinces us of. Both mother and child - they look beautiful in a picturesque, holiday setting!
From this place, we wish all mothers (regardless of the abbreviation with which you identify yourself) a lot of health and many special moments of closeness with your baby.
