Mothering Magazine had a contest to design a symbol that would serve as "an international symbol for breastfeeding is to increase public awareness of breastfeeding, to provide an alternative to the use of a baby bottle image to designate baby friendly areas in public, and to mark breastfeeding friendly facilities." The symbol (shown at left) has been donated to the public domain, and can be posted anywhere to indicate a breastfeeding-friendly environment. Meanwhile, New York City is spending $2 million+ in city hospitals to encourage breastfeeding.
Thanks to Belly Tales for pointing out both stories.
