Creative writing workshop with Ania Bas 👶
We don't have a problem with boobs at all. We have a problem with babies sucking on nipples, let's be honest here.*
Where have you fed your baby? How do you feel when you're feeding? What unsolicited advice have you been given while feeding? It was so wholesome to photograph such an inspiring room full of amazing mums with such beautiful babies sharing really important conversations!

It was incredibly wholesome listening to the discussion on: Green roofs on bus shelters, compost bins in schools for food waste, discouraging parents to idle in cars while waiting for their children, electric vehicle charging in school car parks for teachers and the winner - solar panels on all schools and council buildings!
