2023 World Breastfeeding Week Portrait

Welcome to the information for the 8th Annual Word Breastfeeding Week event hosted by CDA Birth Photographer, LLC. Thanks for your patience waiting for the details of this event, we’ve dove in head first to be traveling sports teams parents…and fortunately we had an out of town tournament cancellation that was conflicting with this event up until very recently! Yay for WBW! Please read on for more information. This event is a passion project that draws quite a bit of traffic and attention, please find the answers to just about any question you may have regarding this event in the below text.

This event originally started eight years ago to celebrate mothers and to raise awareness to the need of policy in Idaho that protects breastfeeding mothers in the public and work places. In 2018 lawmakers in Idaho updated policy to remove language that could result in a breast-feeding mother being charge with indecency. I believe there’s room for our community to grow and normalize nursing and feeding, and that this is also an opportunity for celebrating the accomplishments of local nursing mothers.

Event Details:

The group portrait will be on Monday July 24th, 2023 at 7 PM SHARP at Corbin Park in Post Falls. Participants should be a feeding a human baby, human milk via the breast, pumped bottle or g-tube. We will meet at the Pavilion by the baseball fields. Please wear neutral colors to ensure matching: creams, sages, blushes, neutrals, etc. Due to my current work load, I will be unable to provide specific feedback on outfits to participants of this event. Please wear something comfortable for nursing/feeding and pick from neutral tones to ensure matching for the entire group. Parking at Corbin Park is limited, you may consider carpooling or being dropped off and then picked up afterwards.
