Young people SHOULD see breastfeeding
Quote From: qtiepie2I am a mother of two children. When i would breast feed i would carry a blanket with me. But people shouldn't be popping out there boobs. Me and my 12 year old daughter where at Wal-Mart and this lady was breast feeding in the middle of everybody!!!!!! My daughter didn't need to see a boob in public places. One of the problems that so many women have trouble breastfeeding today is b/c young women don't see other women breastfeeding (and, therefore, don't see what a good "latch" looks like, don't see how a baby should be properly positioned, etc.). I hope that more young people do see women breastfeeding so that they can learn this ancient art the natural way-- simply by observing it over time. Also, seeing a woman breastfeed helps young people see that it's the normal way to feed a child AND helps to see de-sexualize breasts. If young people (boys and girls alike) saw more women breastfeeding I think that over time society's views towards it would change for the better.
