What makes public breastfeeding uncomfortable?
In response to another question about why nursing moms refuse to pump and bring bottles when going out – I’m wondering what it is about breastfeeding that makes some people so uncomfortable. I get that public nudity isn’t proper, but I’ve never seen a woman nursing with her entire top off or her breast fully exposed. I don’t understand the resistance to it. Looking for insight, please.
someone kiss Ethel for me!!
That was the perfect answer.
now, the question is… how can we implant that line of thought into the brains of all “tween” girls right now so that when it’s their turn, formula will only be used by fathers when the mother has died, or when a woman has had a double mastectomy, has to undergo chemotherapy, or is HIV positive (or any other similar grave medical condition).
I have a friend who honestly feels that “breastfeeding is not your choice, but your baby’s birth right. Formula should be available by prescription ONLY.” – that’s directly from her myspace page…. I’m not quite that militant, but I do agree with her thinking!
