Boobs Out

Boobs Out!
(@ )  (@)
Imagine, more than 170 countries
are celebrating Breastfeeding Week.
To me, breastfeeding was what happened
when you had a baby...
No questions.
I didn’t realise that women were being shunned...
That they were huddled into dingy rooms
or smelly bathrooms,
feeding their babies.
I didn’t know that breastfeeding
was something to be ashamed of...
Or embarrassed by...
I clearly remember an advertisement
 with a lady eating a hamburger
while sitting in a public toilet cubicle...
The ad. was saying
that if adults don’t want to eat in a toilet
...the babies of the world
wouldn’t want to, either!
 
Breastfeeding provides babies
with everything they need...
Surely we all know that.
Other bonuses...
There’s no washing or sterilising...
There’s no cost.
It makes sense.
Luckily, the educated people are teaching the
uneducated that breastfeeding in public is fine.
Breastfeeding no longer needs to
take place in public toilets!
 
Some women are unable to feed
their babies from their breast...
Sometimes, it just doesn’t work.
Some babies are removed from their
mothers and can’t access breast milk...
Some babies lie in hospital beds
and their mothers are forced to attach
 pieces of plastic over their breasts
in order to express the milk their baby needs...
Some women are able to donate their milk,
allowing other babies access to breast milk...
And some women are
lucky enough that breastfeeding
 comes easily and naturally.
 
Breastfeeding mothers,
Get out there...
Get your boobs out there!
