Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 25, 2005 -- This years National Nurse Out will occur during the week of July 30 -- August 7, in conjunction with World Breastfeeding Week, announced ProMoM (Promotion of Mothers Milk, Inc.) executive director Dana Anagnostou.

Breastfeeding mothers are encouraged to breastfeed in public as much as possible during National Nurse Out week, and to organize local nurse outs" with other mothers in their area.

The sight of a nursing mom is unusual. Were hoping to make it commonplace, at least during this week, and help mothers feel more comfortable nursing their babies in public," said Anagnostou.

ProMoM has created a special feature area on their web site www.promom.org/nno with information about the Nurse Out, tips on breastfeeding in public, and flyers and brochures that can be printed out.

The web site also offers a discussion board where nursing mothers can organize their local nurse outs, and provides information that can be downloaded for use in organizing and promoting the event locally.

Anyone interested in organizing a nurse out in their area should email nno_local@promom.org for further details.

ProMoM is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing public awareness and public acceptance of breastfeeding.
