Most people are so desensitized to death and murder by hyper actively aroused by anything remotely sexual that a breastfeeding mother can’t feed her own child in public because it might give young people the wrong impression about what breasts are really for (all those Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s commercials).

But if a breastfeeding mother sat in front of one of these poster to feed an infant, rest assured there would be some ignorant person walking over to tell the woman to “cover up” or how she should really “do that at home or in the bathroom”. But why? Would you eat under a stuffy blanket, or in a filthy restroom? And if not, why would you tell a first time mother that her baby’s cafeteria is quite possibly one of the dirtiest rooms in any establishment? Women should not be ashamed to feed their children, in public or at home.

Some pediatricians actually recommend giving infants vitamin D supplements during their first few days of life just to give them a head start on their growth and bone development. Formula is also difficult for some infants to digest, causing more illnesses than found in breastfed babies, and in some cases, infant deaths.
