Let's Talk: Breastfeeding Pics?

What do you think?
I think that breastfeeding pictures are beautiful! However some think differently. 
It is a good idea to be modest and to be careful not to show full on boob to the world, but something as tasteful as the pic below, is not something to complain about.


It is probably the most covered up photo of breastfeeding that I have seen. This momma posted this picture of her son's first latch in honor of this week which is in fact Breastfeeding Week.
Most of the people that follow her YouTube are very aware of her "crunchy" ways.

Baby-led breastfeeding
Co-Sleeping
Healthy/Organic Eating
Cloth diapering
and much more that I can't remember.

She is one of the women that I look to for advice, and with this next LO on the way, I am looking forward to getting advice from someone who breastfed her eldest son till nearly 2 and is breastfeeding her youngest son now. She has tons of videos on how-tos, her day-to-day life and great BF advice videos. She talks about her struggles, and talks about how she handled them. She is a great Youtuber to follow if you are interested in the more natural way of things.

It broke my heart today to see that the very first comment on this post was mean and awful and clearly didn't understand this beautiful mama.
Here is her comment:
Wtf do people post disgusting pictures like that? Yeah we get it you're proud your kid is sucking your tit but it's gross to see. And do you really want your child to see that when he's older? I'd be embarrassed to see a pic of me and my mom like that. Thankfully she wasn't gross and bottlefed me. And don't bother replying I'm unlinking your page.

Sad? Right?
All the mommas under this comment were super supportive of this picture as I was...
I love this pic! Beautiful! PS, I love you vids and what you stand for. You aren't showing any more boob than a Victoria Secret model at a mall.

It's true, she is being completely modest. Even more modest than all the models you see in magazines.
How is this gross, but not a half naked women? I don't understand people sometimes, but the modern world is so twisted nowadays that it's hard to get the correct point across.
In the end, I would like to hear your opinion.
What do you think about breastfeeding pics?

  1. That person has issues. Breastfeeding is how babies survive..they need to eat. Not quite sure why we have the only country that people are bothered by a little boob.

    1. America can be dumb sometimes that's for sure.
