Nurse-Ins across America

Mothers in North America are increasingly taking to holding "Nurse-Ins" to uphold their right to breastfeed anytime, anywhere, in order to feed and nurture their children. Organized primarily through Internet networks, it is a mother's show of solidarity and community with each other, at this time in our culture when this simple act of nurturing our children, can bring dirty looks, nasty comments or even cause the mother and child to be removed from businesses or airplanes.

While Nurse-Ins are often initiated by one person's negative response to seeing Nursing in Public, the Nurse-in becomes an opportunity for correction of breastfeeding misconceptions, education about the child's right to breastfeed and its importance to the health and wellbeing of mother and child, and a show of support from the general public.

On the other videos, you tried to turn it into a political debate. This is not about politics. This is a health issue. It's not healthy to feed a baby in a public restroom, period. Get over it! The law is on the side of the baby and it's breastfeeding mother.

Why is everyone against what spitzbully said? You guys are stupid -so people have to agree with you or they get kicked off the message board?I don't want to see junk hanging out in public either. So damn self-centered -who cares about everyone else as long as my kid gets fed is their attitude

This video has a bunch of picture of moms using proper nursing etiquette. Where are the pictures of the moms that disrobe or walk around essentially topless? These are the nursing moms that people complain about.  Who will plop down next to you take off their shirt, then get mad if you look at them. Don't invade my space with your boob out! Your baby isn't going to starve in the time it takes to find a proper place to nurse.

I had to remove the soundtrack because I was using a copyrighted song. It was either take the music off, or take the video down. I chose to mute the musics and leave the video up. Sorry.

FYI everybody: If you ALL spam this little shit and give him thumbs down, He'll disappear. He only wants to see his shite up on the screen. Deny him that and don't even bother to argue and he'll crawl back into the troll-hole he came from.

I think YOU want to be breastfed. You're a jealous little sickie who wants it yourself. Naff off, shithead!

For someone who dislikes breastfeeding so much you sure do put a lot of time an energy following a video used to promote it. Whatever floats your boat.

You say you are concerned about unsanitariness, AND you think bottles are fine but public breastfeeding isn't. This is inconsistent. When a baby is breastfeeding, there's no way milk could wind up anywhere except in the baby and perhaps a little bit on mom's shirt. With a bottle, there's the possibility of a spill, or of milk leaking elsewhere than simply onto mom or baby.

Of course it's a non-issue, since it isn't unsanitary. But if you think it is, you shouldn't prefer bottles to breasts.

Pt2(wouldn't work)why the hell does it bother you so much?i never showed any boob when i fed.funny how it only upsets you when you arn't getting any!it's the closest thing to a magical food we will ever get.I wote about over 100 benefits,leave us alone,respect our babies rights,it's not"just food"if it was we would just use formula!instead of bullying you should find something better to do eg go to a councellor to work out your agression against breasts problems, you have far to much spare time
