Thanks for writing this, Annie. I shared it on my facebook page because I think you said exactly what I’ve been trying to articulate for a while. I especially loved the part where you talk about how some of us had to struggle really hard to breastfeed so posting a picture of breastfeeding your child is similar to when some people post pictures with their college degrees. Breastfeeding was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to overcome, but I am so happy I did. I think I may take to my page and try to post 100 pictures of me breastfeeding my now toddler.

The Holistic Moms Network created the video Nursing Our Future to show moms breastfeeding in every day places like a coffee shop, museum, on vacation, at a party, a baptism and also at famous locations like the Acropolis and inside the Eiffel Tower!

The more men, women and children SEE mothers feeding and nurturing their children at their breasts, the more commonplace it will become!

That would be fine, except I’d either have to persuade around 300 people the would be better off there or have dual membership. I don’t have the time for either, and the former would never happen anyhow.

Yes, Facebook is a private company.

So are the likes of McDonalds, but in the non-cyber world, breastfeeding is, in most places, *legally protected*. The management of McDonalds may or may not approve of breastfeeding, but if they eject me from their store for feeding my child *they are acting unlawfully*.

I am a member of Facebook not for what the site itself offers me, but because the majority of my family and friends are there. Mainly family and friends who are too far away from me to have the same kind of social contact any other way. If they were on Bebo or Myspace I would be a member there, instead. And, importantly, these are family and friends *who are interested in me and my children*, and *who are far from offended by pictures of my children feeding*.
