I have no kids. So I have never breastfed a baby. I plan on doing so whenever I am lucky enough to have them. But WHY (and i am legitimately asking this question) would you put pictures of your baby breastfeeding on your Facebook account? Myspace, oh definitely. But Facebook?

I guess this is just a beauty I cannot appreciate until I go through it myself. Oh well.

oh and to edit I am not saying it isn't a beautiful thing at all. Don't want to be attacked by the Breastfeeding Mamas. Just don't know why you feel the need to share that moment with the world.

I joined the group, and I agree with the message. But the term "lactivist" is really, really stupid.

Well i guess.....forget it no matter what I have to say Ill get shit for it.

I remember I went to YouTube not too long ago, a month or so, and in the "What People Are Watching" area there was clearly a giant nipple. Now, I was mighty perplexed by this, because it was YouTube, and they don't do nipples. So, being the curious sort, I clicked on it. Turns out it was some sort of breastfeeding documentary. The doc was only slightly interesting as I'm a guy and find babies to be completely and totally creapy. But the comments were WAY entertaining. There are some scary people out there. That has nothing to do with this story really. I just had too much coffee today.

I get the whole thing about posting pics on Facebook, well tthat site anyway.
WHO THE FUCK ARE those people on facebook to think they can judge aesthetics-PERIOD. We've gotten so far off from who we are and what our nature is that they feel like it must be deleted to to 'Obscene' Nature!?! good GOD folks!

While I think it absolutely silly to chuck people off a social networking site for having pictures of them being responsible parents I'm wondering why people have pictures of them breast feeding in the first place? Surely you could have found a more adorable image of your snuggly baby than the one your husband or wacky friend snapped of you while you we have brunch at church?

Also, if an exposed nipple is considered obscene I'd like to ask that facebook remove the pictures of 15 year olds trying to look tough with their shirts off in front of their dad's boat sucking their baby fat in.

I have kids. I breastfed all of them. I breastfed them until age 3. I breastfed them when they and I felt like it, regardless of where we were. Like other breastfeeding mothers I encountered a breadth of responses and never took any shit.

Despite putting some pretty crazy pics in the INTAnet, and breastfeeding when and where-ever, I agree with superkrzyamos that I would not jump to post it on some pseudo preppyass internet group site..

but i sure as F*ck defend to death their right to do so

Hey, breastfeeding is natural.

So is taking a shit.

Doesn't mean I want to SEE someone doing either in public, thankyouverymuch.

I staunchly support every woman's right to expose one or both of her breasts in my presence whenever and however she sees fit.

Of course you should have the right to post pictures of your kids breast feeding, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

eh, i don't get why they'd really want to post breastfeeding pics either, but i don't have kids so i fully admit "not getting it."

the point is that breastfeeding is natural, it's not sexual and women should be able to post these pictures if they want.

I am sorry but since I had never had babies I really dont like to watch other women breast feed! I respect it but PLEASE don't do it on the street or on the seat next to me on the bus!

If you want to breast feed go ahead, if you want to take pictures do it... but when you put them on facebook... common... no1 wants to see that. facebook is for networking you put pictures of your face, friends, parties etc... but when it gets to the point that people put pics like that up something needs to be changed... i say make facebook only available for college/uni students again and keep the breast feeding out of it!!
