Facebook Breastfeeding Causes Stir

Thursday, February 3, 2011




A woman's account was disabled by Facebook after she refused to take down a photo of her breastfeeding her child. This has mother's advocacy groups all up in arms. But it also brings a larger question about breastfeeding in public and whether or not is appropriate. I say: who cares. Let the women feed her starving child.

Gravatar.com When would you say that breastfeeding should not be shown? How about if the child is 3? 7? 15? What about if she's breastfeeding her husband or someone else? The point of posting that kind of picture is not the child, but to show off the breast.
