those mom's are gonna rip facebook a new one. and more power to 'em.

you mean "met" right?

anyways as anomalisa pointed out- taking a dump is not the equivalent of feeding your baby. eating and taking a shit are not equal in the slightest. technicallyand literally, they're opposite of eachother. everybody poops, but not everybody breastfeeds.

why? well, part of the reason is lack of education on the matter, or women having been conditioned by society to view that breasts are sexual, therefore they deny their child of what's best.

pics of nursing moms can be an education tool (yes, even on sites like facebook) that women can see and in a sense learn that nursing is an ok thing- especially if they see enough of it going on. furthermore, the more moms who are educated, the more babies are nursed, and the less likely they will become obese later in life, the more likey they will have better immune systems, etc.

everyone knows how to shit...but not everyone knows about how good and appropriate it is to nurse a child. that is evident from some of the ignorant posts here.

well due to the fact that there are not designated breastfeeding areas, women are forced to nurse out in the open when their children are crying out in hunger. nursing out in the open does indeed need defending, and the more people that defend it, the more accepted it will become. the more educated people are on such a matter, and the more they know it's ok to so many people (posting pics of it is an effort to show it's acceptable), the more likely they are to become accepting of it themselves, and possibly defend it as well. or they can be ignorant, despite the fact that they are made aware of the benefits and the real need for a child to eat immediately when they are hungry, and go on flaming the mamas who do it/post pics in an effort to make it more widely accepted. lawmakers in 48 of the 50 states have laws that protect breastfeeding mamas, so pics and protests regarding nursing aren't going unheard. there's something to be said for that. there are tv commercials/pro breastfeeding campaigns on tv showing nursing women in the act to raise awareness on a subject that really needs it. that's not wrong. i'll post pics wherever i can to help raise awareness about breastfeeding. i have a breastfeeding calendar- yes all 12 months FULL of women nursing their beautiful and healthy babies. breastfeeding is truly the picture of health when it comes to giving a baby a good start- why wouldn't i want to share that with people??

Defecating stinks and attracts flies. It is also a biohazard. It probably didn't take much for our primitive ancestors to figure out that shitting should be done somewhere other than in the middle of the village. So pooping in private became part of the world's culture because it kept things smelling better, kept away the flies, and helped prevent the transmission of disease.

Breast feeding on the other hand doesn't produce offensive odors and I don't think you have to fear stepping into a puddle of breast milk and getting it all over your shoe after a mother breast feeds. It can be a biohazard if the mother has HIV, but how often do you see an out of control nipple squirting milk all over the place? So I don't think there's much to fear about the milk itself. So then what is it about breast feeding that alarms so many people in the Western culture? It's the boobies!

Let me add that sneezing is also natural and most people don't freak out if you sneeze in their presence. Why? Part of it is perhaps because it doesn't produce any nasty odors. It wasn't until just recently in history that we realized that it spreads germs. So the world's cultures didn't evolve to freak out when someone sneezes, however we do say "God bless you" and such because a sneeze invites in demons through your nostrils--at least that's what some people used to think.
