Breasts Are For Babies
When has breastfeeding your baby become taboo? It is one of the most natural things in the world…and yet so many people in the U.S. protest it. I have two children of my own, and both were breastfed…my first until he was 8 months, my second until 18 months. I never had a problem nursing in public (or seeing others nurse in public) or watching tv programs where mothers nursed their children. But according to a recent poll, 57% of those polled are opposed to breastfeeding in public, while a whopping 72% are opposed to tv programs showing a mother nursing her baby. What is the U.S. coming to when women are so programmed that seeing a naked breast of a nursing mother finds them turning their head and blurting “gross”? What a sad state we are living, when it’s thought that formula is better than mother’s natural milk for baby. Women need to wake up and realize that we have breasts for the purpose of nursing a baby. Sexuality comes in second. So stop looking at it as gross, but as a mother giving her child the very best start in life…an all-natural diet made specifically for that baby.
