    In the article “Breastfeeding and Culture”, Dettwyler discussed the three main forces that work together to move women away from the practice of breastfeeding: separation of their productive labor and reproductive labor, increasing confidence to provide chemistry with their partners and decreasing confidence to use the breasts as the reason what they are made for, increasing of the commercials which are convincing the women that breasts are shameful and it is less healthy for the baby. One cultural practice that affects rates of breastfeeding is women going back to work especially in environments that do not promote breastfeeding or support the mother in this way. Another cultural practice that affects rates of breastfeeding is the public…

    There is often debate if nursing an infant in public is acceptable. In this cartoon you, will find two authority figures questioning a woman about publicly displaying her breasts. She is sitting alone on a bench in a peaceful manner feeding her baby, when approached by these very intimidating looking men. When you look at the cartoon you can see a Victoria’s Secret ad plastered on the wall behind the somewhat conservative looking woman. Some might argue that the model is much more audacious than the quiet woman nursing the baby, but others may argue that it’s disgusting and that she should find somewhere private. This particular incident took place in Texas and according to Texas law it’s perfectly legal to breastfeed your baby anywhere a woman chooses. So while looking at this image you can see that the men are unlawfully approaching the woman to harass her about something that is not in their right to do so. The image also implies that…

    Raising a child is a collaborative effort, and the amount of positivity or negativity a mother receives contributes to her own attitude toward breastfeeding. Like all great things, breastfeeding rarely comes easily, but the multitude of benefits it provides are well worth the struggle. With the continued effort to reeducate the public of its benefits the social stigma against breastfeeding can be overcome. Mothers and babies deserve to feel comfortable, and confident doing what their bodies were made to…

    Most people are so desensitized to death and murder by hyper actively aroused by anything remotely sexual that a breastfeeding mother can’t feed her own child in public because it might give young people the wrong impression about what breasts are really for (all those Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s commercials). If you walked into a mall with a Victoria’s Secret, there are more than likely giant posters of women wearing nothing but the latest collections of Victoria’s Secret brand of bras and underwear. These women are showing nothing but skin. But if a breastfeeding mother sat in front of one of these poster to feed an infant, rest assured there would be some ignorant person walking over to tell the woman to “cover up” or how she should really “do that at home or in the bathroom”. But why? Would you eat under a stuffy blanket, or in a filthy restroom? And if not, why would you tell a first time mother that her baby’s cafeteria is quite possibly one of the dirtiest rooms in any establishment? Women should not be ashamed to feed their children, in public or at home. In fact, according to many medical professionals, breastfeeding is actually healthier for a newborn baby due to the large amount of vitamin D in breast milk that is not necessarily found in formula. Some pediatricians actually recommend giving infants vitamin D supplements during their first few days of life just to give them a head start on their growth and bone development. Formula is also difficult for some infants to digest, causing more illnesses than found in breastfed babies, and in some cases, infant deaths. But breastfeeding isn’t solely beneficial for the baby, it also boosts the mother’s health, and reduces the chances of certain ovarian and breast…

    Under The Breastfeeding Etc. (Scotland) Bill, it is an offense to prevent or stop a person in charge of a child who is otherwise permitted in a public place or licensed premises from feeding milk to that child in that place or on that premises. Although the bill applies equally to bottle-feeding, it is the issue of breastfeeding in public that is likely to cause most debate and therefore much of this briefing is centered on this theme.
