In November 2006, The Breastfeeding Center at Boston Medical Center became the new home for the Childbirth Picture Book (CPB), created in 1981 by Fran Hosken, as a clear, picture-based guide to conception, pregnancy, and childbirth. Separate inserts exist to educate communities and individuals about female genital mutilation (FGM).

Due to Breastfeeding Center work in 2006-2007, the CPB is now available, in updated format, in English, French, Spanish, and Swahili.

If you know of a community that could benefit from these books, please contact us at breastfeeding@bmc.org.

Childbirth Picture Books are 9$ each. Please visit our catalog for orders.

The Hesperian Foundation also offers a limited amount of these of books for free through their Gratis Fund. To read more please click on the link.
