We are always on the look out for good-quality pictures, so contact us if you have any to offer.
Putting the calendar together is always a challenge because all the groups that will sell it to help raise funds for their activities to protect infant health have to be happy with the selection of pictures. There is a voting process that goes on to ensure that the views of each group are respected and everyone has mainly their favourite pictures, plus a few they just like a lot.
I have a vote myself and have always been a bit suspicious of disembodied pictures such as the one that appears in January, shown below.
But someone who has breastfed and loves these pictures pointed out to me that these are not pictures of disembodied breasts (though such pictures exist), but a Mum's-eye-view of breastfeeding and that is why these pictures are so popular.
Which just goes to show, you have to be open to other perspectives!
What do you think?

Hi,
I have a really lovely picture - do you still need any?
Thanks Roma.
The process for the 2011 calendar starts now, so any suitable photographs greatly appreciated.
These need to be landscape format (not portrait, unless they can be cropped to landscape) and high resolution.
Ok well it's portrait but prob doesn't matter which way round. only 180 dpi but 1704 x 2272 pixels, so let me know if any good and how i'd send it to you. Thanks
Pictures can be sent to info@babymilkaction.org
Please indicate who the picture should be credited to and whether it is a donation or whether a fee would apply for using it.
Also let us know if you have a preferred caption for the photo.
If pictures aren't high enough resolution for the calendar (which is A4 size), we may have a use for them on cards or more generally, in which case portrait shaped photos are also appropriate.
I have several like that - photos I've taken as one of my children sleeps post feed on my breast, they're special to me because of that
