[ID] 731 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen [Comment] Even in the most advanced cities in this country, so many people are very unaware of the true benefits of breastfeeding. It has been demoralized and sexualized by many so that when a mom is out with a baby and needs to breastfeed, she is made to feel ashamed and asked to cover up or go to a private place. Though mom's have the legal right to breastfeed in public, most of the public is not educated on the legal rights. Whenever the media has a story about breastfeeding in any context, breastfeeding is always described as Hard to do or difficult, or something easily substituted with formula. There is more of a negative light when it comes to breastfeeding that it is truly sad many new mothers and mothers to be will often follow that unsound heresay and go against what is best for mom and baby or following their natural instinct. Popular media continues to only portray the difficulty of breastfeeding while many moms do not have difficulty and find it easy to do. Society is so far away from the day where a mom can breastfeed her child and not get dirty looks, shunned upon or be asked to not do that. Breastfeeding is not an act of bad behavior!!! [Topic]
