Knitting ‘breasts’

By MUe | Published: October 3, 2012

Somerset Health Authority (and others) use knitted breasts to help teach new mothers how to breastfeed their babies.

A member of Mothers’ Union liaises with their local Health Authority or hospital, to see if they need knitted breasts. They are given guidance on colour, shape and size required. Members then get knitting!

We are grateful to members in Coventry diocese for signposting us to the knitting pattern for these breasts, see www.lcgb.org/shop_knittedbreastpattern.html

  • An Inspired idea:
    Engaged couples add their names and the date of their wedding to a prayer tree so that members can then pray for them.

  • Feedback on Inspired

    "Looking through the Inspired pages I really was ‘inspired’ to read about the variety of activities with which Mothers’ Union members are involved; some of them really simple so that even the smallest branches could take them on.

    Just imagine if every branch was ‘inspired’ to take up one thing – what an impact that would have!"
