Breastfeeding on Facebook

Recently I read a blog about a certified lactation consultant that wasn't allowed to promote her ad to like a status about reaching 100 likes on Facebook because she was promoting the sale of use of adult products. There were no pictures or anything! The word BREASTfeeding was written twice. Now we can't promote the word breastfeeding?

WHAT?!

Seriously... read the story here.

and now that you've done that... LIKE HER PAGE!

So many people are fighting EVERYDAY to prove to the world breastfeeding isn't bad. Hospitals are promoting breastfeeding. WHY is it that social media is having a hard time with a BOOB! They have no problem showing other boobs. Is it because you can't get turned on by the fact that there's a baby on that boob whereas you can with a naked woman? Is the media afraid that if we promote breastfeeding that their way into attracting people is going to change because boobs will be "a thing of the past"? Seriously? WHAT is wrong with breastfeeding?

What about the days where woman SHARED nursing? Does anyone remember that? The phrase "It takes a village" was true because woman shared being mothers. One mother couldn't produce enough? Another woman took over. When did this become so taboo?

I seriously hope... someday in the near future, we'll go over this whole breast is bad thing, and remember: Breast is BEST!
