Breastfeeding has been the way to feed babies for centuries. Before formula was created breastfeeding was the only option of food for babies. Breast milk is also the healthiest choice for babies. Formula only has a small percentage of nutrients included in breast milk. Formula is made with cow’s milk which is harder for babies to digest and creates digestive health problems. Why is breastfeeding in public such a problem to the nursing mother and those around her? The public expresses how breastfeeding in public is offensive. Some people say how nursing mothers should stop being disgusting, feed their baby in the bathroom, or just stay at home if they are going to breastfeed. These kinds of comments are discouraging to nursing mothers …show more content…

This will help make breastfeeding in public easier and less stressful for myself and my baby. The research explains how mothers must worry about what people around them think about their choices to breastfeed in public and figure out how to successfully breastfeed their babies without being a disturbance to others. I believe that everyone can have their own opinion, but when a mother is feeding her baby in public and they want to verbally attack that mother, something needs to be done about it. I also believe that nursing mothers, if they choose to breastfeed in public, should do so with respect to those around her. Rather than just exposing herself while feeding the baby, she could instead use a nursing cover. Nursing mothers could use the option to find a more secluded place like a nursing room to breastfeed in. Public places that allow breastfeeding in their environment should be required to provide nursing rooms for mothers breastfeeding in public because not only is it embarrassing to the public, it is also sometimes embarrassing to a mother. If a mother becomes embarrassed from the public for breastfeeding, she may be discouraged to breastfeed her baby at

For mothers who wish to breastfeed, but also desire a break from the task, there is a simple answer to heading nipple confusion off at the pass. The most important thing to remember is to not offer a bottle until your baby has successfully been breastfeeding for a minimum of three weeks. By doing this, the baby has had the chance to get used to breastfeeding, and the work that they must do to feed correctly. Once the baby is secure in their breastfeeding strategy, then the parents can add bottle feeding of breast milk into the routine.

Surprising, the messages I got out of the experience are relevant to this topic. The mothers in particular had chosen to birth their baby outside of the hospital and without any trained physicians nearby. They all chose to have their babies at home. I found each of the mothers repeating a similar line to the camera crew about the reason behind the decision to have a child in such an unorthodox and non mainstream manner. Each stated that at the hospital with the births of previous children, they had lost control.

Breastfeeding in Public Breastfeeding has been around forever now, but it’s now not being accepted to be done in public. Women will hear comments like,” could you please cover up,” or ,“ do you really have to do that infront of me?” Women should not have to be judged for something that is natural and healthy. Now, women are starting to fight back towards these comments and won’t stand for what people have to say about them feeding their child. Women should not have to suffer through the harassment of people saying how it’s inappropriate because it is healthy, natural, and legal.
