  3. I love how you put these pictures with the words - and how you show "yes we understand your reservations, not just what we THINK Your reservations are". I laughed...I love it! :)

    I remember the big to-do about facebook pulling all those breastfeeding pictures. Some of them I agree needed to be pulled (picture of mom with NO top in public park feeding kids with legs wide open and grinning seductively) but many of them were very tasteful and should have been left alone (close up picture of baby sucking happily or close picture of mama looking lovingly at baby looking lovingly back while feeding - only feeding breast exposed).

    I'll never understand it fully but my dad was very "don't feed in my presence" type - even with us kids with our mom! But for one person that is close to me and I respect I had no problem "hiding" for a couple of feedings. But if I'm in the middle of a park with a screaming kid you'd better back off - I don't know you so you shouldn't be looking anyway! LOL

  4. Actually I didn't make this, a fan of the facebook group sent it in and I asked for her permission to post it. I agree with you though! I love this too, its funny and educational in a lighthearted way.

    I didn't see the particular picture you mentioned (legs open, seductive) but our group has a history of being attacked by trolls posting porn and "sexy" breast pictures so it may have been one of them.

  6. Your 7 myths of breastfeeding are extremely flawed. Some of your information is extraordinarily out of line with fact - and should not be printed. Some women do NOT produce enough milk, and no woman should feel guilt or shame for it. For women who haven't experienced a lack of milk, they haven't endured the pain of not being able to provide for their child. Claiming that overabundance is the only issue, and that no woman lacks a sufficient milk supply is unfair and false. Please check your sources.

  7. It`s true that some women may not produce enough milk. But many women are told to use formula just because their milk hasn`t come in yet, and aren`t informed that colostrum IS enough nourishment to meet baby`s needs for the first few days. Women can be guilted into the thinking that they aren`t properly nourishing their child with breast milk, and many people in our society have come to beleive that formula is better and essential for their babies health.

    No one should feel guilty for using formula when they`ve made the effort to breastfeed and have difficulties, but those that are able should know all the facts before deciding not to breastfeed.

    (as a note, I also think its disgusting that society has such a double standard when it comes to breast feeding in public, or posted pictures. Breastfeeding is BEAUTIFUL)
