Breastfeeding Is NOT Normalized
Breastfeeding is NOT normalized and I’m going to tell you why.
2 days ago Ashley Graham posted this picture of her looking sexy as hell and got a whole lot of love on her post.
1 day prior she posted the picture of her feeding her baby and every other comment talks about how she needs to cover up and she shouldn’t expose herself like that and other crap comments.
Why is it okay to post sexy bikini pictures but it’s not okay to post a breastfeeding picture?
I hope the woman worried about her “8 year old son” seeing this is also keeping her son away from beaches and pools.
I hope the women preaching that Ashley needs a cover her baby while he eats in public are also covering themselves while they eat.
I hope those commenting on her picture how “inappropriate” it is are also telling Victoria’s Secret to take down their advertising pictures in malls.
Breastfeeding is not normalized. People still think it’s gross or weird or inappropriate. This is why we have to fight so hard to normalize it.
NEWS FLASH: Breastfeeding advocates aren’t shaming you for bottle/formula feeding your baby. We simply believe in every mother’s right to breastfeed if that’s what she chooses. We believe in the right to be properly educated on breastfeeding and to have proper access to resources when needed. We believe that women have a right to breastfeeding support.
And we believe that every woman has the right to publicly feed their baby any way they choose without being shamed for it!
A lot of ignorant people are completely missing the point of this post. The “likes” don’t matter. Yes, the breastfeeding picture has more “likes” but have you read the comments? They’re horrible. While the bikini picture has less “likes” there’s more support and uplifting comments on that post.
