Breastfeeding to fight stigma

[Babba_not_Gump]

So is defecating or urinating a natural thing to do.

Why compare eliminating body wastes which isn't healthy to do so in any shopping mall to feeding an infant?

Well Gordon called it a perfectly natural thing, oh no a breast. Right?
Maybe I should have added, oh no, private parts!

It just seemed like the natural thing to follow it with.

Every once and a while north americas religious past shows though, many parts of world breasts isn’t a big deal.

Not sure how our religious past got into this conversation.

And this, many parts of world breasts isn’t a big deal.
Wow, where do we start with this one?
I'll keep it simple.
In every part of the world that I've been to, the local women's breast are considered a sexual object.
But really, we are only concerned about this issue in Canada. Who cares about the French Riviera or the jungles of Brazil.

Heck, all you have to do is ask the ladies on here, as well as the men if breasts are a sexual object.
And if they aren't a big deal, can I post pictures of women's breast on this site?
If not, then flopping out a boob in public to feed the little guy should be no different then posting a picture on here.

Hmm, I'll have to give that a little thought. Not sure if I want to be banned.

In BC if a woman wants to be topless at the beach it’s not against the law, prudish individuals would be shocked to know this (many of those tend to be religious).

Then let her go topless, but then she shouldn't be shocked if people are gawking and taking pictures.

And why do you keep bringing up this religious B.S?

People need to mind their own business. I don’t give a damn if someone is breastfeeding their child, I also don’t gawk.

If Time magazine can post it on their front cover.... then why not here?

The mother on the Time cover took a lot of heat.

Well....the kid is a little old to be "latching on".

[Fancy]

I think I read the mother was breastfed until she was 6 but she's not alone regarding breastfeeding toddlers. A lot of mothers I knew during that time in my life were feeding until their child was drinking from a cup. Skipped the bottle stuff altogether.

It’s perfectly legal for women to go around with their breasts out, breastfeeding or not.

Who are you to say the kid is too old to be latching on.....
My body, my choice right? What age is appropriate to stop breastfeeding then in your mind?

That's been said already (and that is regarding public property - not private i.e. malls) but this is about breastfeeding, not walking around barechested.

When they have a set of teeth and should be in little league. At what age do you think is appropriate to wean a human child off?
That kid is old enough to have 2-3 younger siblings.

You didn’t answer my question? What age is appropriate?
