Some mothers have difficulties when feeding their baby. Sometimes the nipple can become sore and cracked. In this condition breastfeeding can be extremely painful and a quick and fast remedy is needed. Cracked Nipple Cream is one of these remedies….

The photos were posted in a support group for breastfeeding. Of course posting photos of women breastfeeding is going to make sense in a Facebook group about breastfeeding.

Just like posting sexualized photos of women in the Facebook group “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa sex sex sex boobs boobs boobs tits and ass we are horny teenagers” makes sense in the context of the group.

Facebook is wrong on so many levels here.

I don’t buy that lactivists post pics of themselves breastfeeding simply in order to normalise it. That may be one reason for a select few, but in general women post breastfeeding pics for the same reason they post any other baby pic–this is what my baby did today, isn’t she cute, look how fast she’s growing. The exact same reasons a mother might post pics of her baby being bottlefed!

As for Facebook, I recognise it’s ‘allowed’ to make as many ridiculous rules as it likes… voluntary joining, etc. That doesn’t alter the fact that the rule is stupid. Breastfeeding is not obscene. Breasts are not sexual in a breastfeeding context; they are the best way to give optimal nutrition, heightened immunity and easily-absorbed vitamins to your child. Get over it, people!

With you see on latch on Mr. facebook?

very bad condition

keep breastfeeding

Hace unos días saltó una disputa entre lactivistas y la política interna de Facebook, a causa de la eliminación de fotografías donde aparecían bebés mamando de sus madres. Facebook ha eliminado por completo todas las fotografías de usuarias dan…

As they all become rich and can afford to settle down and have families of their own the realities of this act will hit them.

I do appreciate their stance on adult oriented crap but this sounds like they just don’t understand the subject.

Nice post.

According to UNICEF, if infants worldwide were fed only mother’s milk for their first six months, at least 1.3 million lives a year would be saved. Babies in the US who are breastfed are far less likely to die or be injured from ANY CAUSE, including disease, accident, and abuse. Not to mention that a woman’s chances of getting breast cancer and other reproductive cancers are greatly reduced when she breastfeeds. That’s a lot of people NOT dying because lactivists are passionate about this issue and trying to re-normalize breastfeeding in our culture.

It’s not about your right not to be offended. It’s not even about a woman’s right to breastfeed. It’s about a baby’s right to receive biologically appropriate nutrition.

Geez

It looks like an argument has broken out between Facebook and breast feeding activists over pictures of breast feeding babies uploaded to Facebook.
Facebook has taken down pictures of users breast feeding, and has even gone as far as banning users…

Oh well.

It’s quite simple why these women are being “in your face” about breastfeeding.

There are women who would like to feed their babies in public. These women believe they should be free to nurture their baby as they go about their daily lives (heaven forfend!). When they attempt to do so, they get bad experiences from people who are intolerant of that activity. Instead of shutting themselves and their infants in restrooms, or resorting to baby formula, they decide to do something about it by joining the public discourse. They get vocal.

All of these slippery-slope faux arguments about “men in fur suits” or “OMG! This is like allowing public masturbation!” are specious. The majority of cultures in the majority of human history tolerated public breastfeeding. A whole generation of Americans were raised with the incorrect ‘medical’ knowledge that breastfeeding was unhealthy and improper.

The fact is that it was once (and still is in most places) proper for women to breastfeed in public. Now (in America) it is not. Women are trying to reclaim a freedom that was once theirs. To do so, they have to be ‘in your face’ about it. People become comfortable and acquainted with things they see frequently. So ‘lactivists’ post pictures of themselves breastfeeding.

Honestly, I was raised in an environment where public breastfeeding was considered improper. There’s still a part of me that’s uncomfortable when I see it. You know what? I deal. Because by suspending my own issues (which I recognize are not ‘normal’ or ‘natural’) I contribute–in a small way–to improving our cultural environment. And I approve of people being ‘in your face’ about it. Because ‘in your face’ is how you bring new ideas to people and challenge their preconceptions. ‘In your face’ is how you keep the world young and learning rather than old and calcified. Which is why this thread is relevant to the tech industry–because why are we all here working on technology, if not to challenge ourselves and others to create something new and challenging?

Please no offense, it just my 5 cents view from another continent, another culture.

Peace

And how is a restroom any less clean than a public restaurant?

But I guess taking other people’s considerations into account is far too difficult for the me-first mommies of this country.
