Exposing Myself for Breastfeeding Week *breastfeeding picture warning*
I talk the talk, but don't walk the walk when it comes to breastfeeding advocacy. So I decided to come out with a breastfeeding photo on Facebook for the last day of Breastfeeding Week. Extremely nervous to get cruel responses from some on FB, but here goes!
When an actress takes off her clothes onscreen but a nursing mother is told to leave, what message do we send about the roles of women? In some ways we're as committed to the old madonna-whore dichotomy as ever. And the madonna stays home, feeding the baby behind the blinds, a vestige of those days when for a lady to venture out was a flagrant act of public exposure.
Any ladies have breastfeeding pictures to share?

Great pic!
There is no better feeling than your baby looking at you while you use your body to nourish him. :x
