You have GOT to be kidding me? I couldn't belive this headline! This article and statistic was posted in my "baby talk" magazine in the Aug issue. That statistic is according to The Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
They go on to say that a whopping 72 percent said that it's inappropriate to show a woman breastfeeding on TV programs
My mouth actually DROPPED! What is wrong with people?? No wonder most women don't breastfeed for the recommended first year. Breastfeeding is the most natural thing a mother and a child can do! I don't need to go on and on about the benefits of breastfeeding your child, we all know those! I am just literally shocked at that statistic. It makes me want to walk around topless with my baby on my breast and say SCREW YOU! I breastfed my daughter where and when she needed to. I was discreet for my own modesty, but I cannot belive the public opinion on this..
Oh well I guess the US can be pretty conservative and brainless, they voted Bush in for a second term eh?

Hi, I live in South Africa and I honestly thought that percentage would be higher. Among the 'white' folk here I think it would probably be 80%. I was breastfeeding once at a museum and a 'black' lady came up to me and commended me for breastfeeding and told me I was the first white women she'd ever seen breastfeeding in public! She looked to be in her late 30's. It's a tough crowd :) but I do my best.
