“ Thank you for sharing Nursing Mothers Welcome.
It is lovely
and the music is perfect.”

"I use Nursing Mothers Welcome in
the beginning of all my classes because it shows how easy breastfeeding
is."
-- Mary Nettles, Lactation Consultant
Northern Duchess Hospital, Rhinebeck, NY
“Whether at restaurants, concerts, malls, galleries, hotels, parties,
at work and at home, in cars, stores, offices, church, public streets and parks,
these ‘welcome mothers’ are totally comfortable nursing their
infants in public. The film also shows how to nurse twins, and various
methods to insure
discretion as well.
Nursing Mothers Welcome is…a beautiful 7-minute film. It uses the Pastoral
Symphony by Beethoven to convey the non-verbal message of the film, that breastfeeding
is the natural way of motherhood and that mothers can harmonize the baby’s
health needs with any high tech environment.
Nursing Mothers Welcome teaches by example (not preaching, which
might turn off some young mothers) that it’s good to nurse babies
in public, and it shows as models a wide variety of mothers of all races,
in
the act of discretely
nursing their young.”
--Resonance Magazine, September/October, 2007
“MacLean, an R.N. from Saugerties, has just produced her fifth DVD on
breast-feeding. Her films have no dialogue, only music - therefore making cultural
translation easy….She changed each one just a little because she listened
to people’s comments. The change from film to film resulted in not only
improved film quality, but more of what people felt should be included….”
--Ulster County Press, March 21, 2007
“To foster
the acceptance that comes with familiarity, [MacLean] made Nursing Mothers Welcome,
a seven-minute DVD showing women discreetly breast-feeding as they go about
their lives: working in
offices,
walking down
the street, shopping for groceries, reading to their other children--and,
yes, eating in restaurants. (One mother even nurses twins.) Filmed in five
countries,
the film includes women of many ethnicities and occupations. They wear
business suits, sweaters, hiking gear, and chadors.”
--Healthy Living, Fall 2007/Winter 2008
“In the
film, which has no speaking parts, mothers nurse their children in parks,
restaurants, while walking down the street,
at home and even in their
parked cars, images that MacLean feels are vital for not just mothers, but
all people to see.”
--Saugerties Times, April 26, 2007
Nursing Mothers Welcome
The title of
this film by Heather MacLean is the sign we’d like to see in more
public places, nursing mothers welcome.
Whether at restaurants,
concerts, malls, galleries, hotels, parties, at work and at home, in cars,
stores, offices, church, public streets and parks, these “welcome
mothers” are totally comfortable nursing their infants in public. The
film also shows how to nurse twins, and various methods to insure discretion
as well.
Nursing Mothers
Welcome is beautiful experience and a beautiful 7 minute film. It
uses the Pastoral Symphony by Beethoven to convey the non-verbal message
of the film; that breastfeeding is the natural way of motherhood and that
mothers can harmonize the baby’s health needs with any high tech
environment.
Nursing Mothers
Welcome teaches by example (not preaching, which might turn off some young
mothers) that it is good to nurse babies in public, and it shows as models
a wide variety of mothers of all races, in the act of discretely nursing
their young.
