I just dont understand why not drape a light weight blanket over so noone has to see. i am currently exspecting and do not plan on breastfeeding.

[amyphilo]

Well then I guess you will never experience how fun it is to try to use a blanket every time your baby eats, or how hot, or how your baby pulls it off, or how your baby is expected to have to not breathe fresh air, or how you are supposed to feel ashamed because your baby is eating. It's not natural.

This is off topic but I am desperate to get some more help! I need help immediately... please sign my petition against the MOTHERS Act (a plan to screen and drug pregnant and postpartum women) go to uniteforlife dot org to get the URL

This is URGENT!

Can't we support mothers with whatever method they use to feed their babies? I'm not a bad mom because I bottle fed my sweet babies! Of course breast milk is best! But to the lactivists who offer unsolicited statistics & self-righteous comments to a mother innocently trying to nourish her child with a bottle, suspend your judgment until you know her story. We must treat ALL our sisters with compassion, make sure the facts are out there, & be thankful that it's 2008 and we have options!

This video is about breastfeeding, not bottle feeding. If you want to support moms go make a bottle feeding support video. Never mind that the international laws would prohibit you from profiting on it, but go ahead.

Our society admires clevage, tight pants, short skirts and porn, but never the tit in the babe's mouth. Why? Because we are lost in a maze of confused values. The life source of human breastmilk is recognized internationally as superior. Yet people are put off when women try to give this gift the their young. This is neurotic. Time for this debate to come out of the closet.

[amyphilo]

I love your comment. That is so well put.

[BrittanyER86]

breast feed all you want amyphilo, but cover your ugly saggy mom tits in public, its public indecency, indecent exposure, either way its illegal.. all he asked her to do was to cover her TIT. You're ignorant white trash just like the rest of the feminist cunts out there protesting over NOTHING.

[briandaniel82]

that's just ridiculous, it's protected in all states but 10, if a child is hungry, you don't always have the time to worry about who is around you and watchin, if you don't like it, don't look. Breastfeeding is 1000 times healthier for a child, read a book on it, you just sound ignorant, which I am sure you are. i'm a guy btw, and i am taking a child development class, formula feeding is TERRIBLE for children, but unfortunaley it's necessary sometimes in certain cases. now be nice.

Great inspirational rally and just a beautifully done montage. I hope we see more activism in the near future.

Most of the ladies in this film are using proper nursing etiquette.

@amyphilo If you use nursing etiquette and be discreet no one will notice or care, I've even used a breast pump in public, and no one noticed. If you walk around with your boobs flopped out over your shirt then it can offend people. You know you have a baby and are breastfeeding...be prepared with the correct nursing attire. Buy a nursing top, sheesh!

I remeber my first time trying to breast feed mom son in public, This older lady told me I was wrong and I needed to put a blaket over his head! So I took my son's blanket out of his bag and THREW it ov the both on to her head and said very nicely well only if you cover your face! She was pissed to say the least!

[doulalea]

Hey! I'm in this! It's weird to find a youtube video of yourself 2 years after the fact!

[2009Momma]

love it =]

[BAMitBABIES]

I agree with you. I think mothers choice is what is important and if that choice is breastfeeding they shouldnt have to hide it or go in to a bathroom. Breastfeeding is hard at times and there are many other reasons why someone might not be able to or want to breastfeed.

[sweetepoh]

you might think im kinda silly, but i got goosebumps on my arms and tears in my eyes while watching this. i wish i couldve been there to support these wonderful women. ive taken some flak for nursing from my stepdad, till i finally said, "if you dont like me nursing, You put a blanket on YOUR head. its other people's embarassment, and i refuse to own it too.
