35 Years of Nursing MothersPrint Page 
The Mothers Love Rose was planted to commemorate 35 years of Nursing Mothers.
Established in 1964 by Mary Paton and five of her friends - Jan Barry, Glenise Francis, Pat Paterson, Pauline Pick and Sue Woods, with the idea of breast feeding mothers supporting each other. The association commenced at a time when censorship restrictions would not allow words such as `breast`, `pregnant` or `nipple` in public print or on the airwaves.
The Postmaster General`s Department would not allow the word `breastfeeding` to be printed in the telephone directory. The name Nursing Mothers` Association was decided upon as it combined the ideas of breastfeeding and nurturing.
