Being A Lifeguard For A Local Public Pool

The audience intended for this paper are mothers that have a desire to breastfeed, employers, clinicians, breastfeeding advocacy groups and federal and state legislators involved in policy change.

Breastfeeding in public has become a problem today. I’ve heard many arguments of for and against breastfeeding. I see many arguments that are against women breastfeeding in public. I am against breastfeeding in public. All the talk about breastfeeding in public has become more relevant to today’s society because people have admitted to being uncomfortable with public breastfeeding. Women say that people are “shaming” them, but really people are wanting respect from the women who make us feel uncomfortable. I agree that breastfeeding is a very natural thing in child birth, but I do not want to see another woman breastfeeding while I am eating dinner or going for a jog in the park. I believe that breastfeeding should be done behind closed

Mother’s breastfeeding in public should be universally accepted because it would allow mothers to feed their infants without fear, allow mothers to provide the most complete form of nutrition to their babies, and desexualize the act of breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding in public is natural, however, others think it is inappropriate. A survey has found that 6 out of 10 women who have breastfeed take steps to hide it in public and a 3rd of these women feel embarrassed or incomfortable nursing outside of their home. The poll also showed that 1 in 5 believed people did not want the mothers to breastfeed in public and 1 in 10 who chose not to nurse their baby were influenced by the worry of doing so outside the home. The poll was carried out by Public Health England's parenting advice service. It is illegal to ask a breastfeeding woman to leave a public place but there have been high-profile cases of women being told to cover up.

Breastfeeding in public does not harm or hurt anyone. There are many solutions to those who find it uncomfortable and inappropriate, or they just don’t want their children exposed to it. It is not illegal to breastfeed in public but there are still public places where this is frowned upon and acted on. I believe women should be able to nurture their babies in public or at

Then he took it a step further and publicly declared the restaurant a pro-nursing safe space. “(Chunha, 1) Cunha recounts many more stories of breastfeeding nightmares that mothers took to the internet for support, however her optimism on whether this is truly making a difference wanes. “Until we can affect a deep change in the way society views women in general, and breastfeeding mothers in particular, we will not be able to win the war.”(Cunha,1) In this she reflects that society's views on women need to change in order for views of breastfeeding in public to change as the two go hand in hand. By publicizing their stories, the two mothers did manage to get an apology, however the fact that these actions were made by professionals still brings worry to a lot of

What could possibly be wrong about a mother nourishing her child? Absolutely nothing. Many people view a woman's breasts as sexual items. The main purpose of breasts Is to breastfeed a child after birth. I came across The Milk Truck while back. The Milk Truck is there “to create a mobile breastfeeding unit that allows mothers to feed their babies in places where they have been discouraged - restaurants, shopping malls, public spaces, etc. Babies should be able to eat anywhere, and everywhere". I am absolutely for breastfeeding in public.

They agree that it is natural and compares to sex, nudity, urinating and defecation. It is a sign of disrespect to some people who have to see the breastfeeding. Therefore, there should be designated places for mothers to breastfeed. Besides, it is awkward and pointless for mothers to nurse in public. There are modern technological products such as the breast pump. Women should express their breast; prepare the breast milk in bottles to avoid public attention. There are public establishments that have private places for nursing mothers and allow those mothers for some reasons cannot use breast pumps to care safely for their children

The authors explain that prior to the invention of infant formula breast feeding was just known as feeding. Infant formula and the sexualization of breast led mothers to bottle feeding. Bottle feeding made it so people became uncomfortable to breastfeed in public. Breastfeeding helps baby’s immune systems develop and helps them grow. Studies have shown that breastfeeding is a healthy and natural way for mothers to feed their babies. The authors argue that there should be public places for mothers to “feed” or pump. Breastfeeding can already be uncomfortable as it is. In closing, the authors argue public establishments should be educated on how to support breastfeeding mothers. I believe this article is a good source that I can information from for my case study. It shares a different side of why women should be able to breastfeed in public.

Breastfeeding activists and empowerment groups everywhere help mothers feel better about themselves. It’s way more than likely that about only half of those people who are against it have said something. “The majority of participants in 6 out of the 9 counties surveyed consider breastfeeding in public to be ‘perfectly natural.’”(Bean). With this being shown, most of the population see no problem with the actions being done. If they do and end up verbally abusing the mother, they will be held accountable for their actions, especially in a place of business. “Because breastfeeding is difficult — physically, emotionally and socially. As mothers, we are walking a tightrope of “dos” and “don’ts.” We are endlessly navigating our way through a maze of acceptable and unacceptable behaviors” (Bean). There could be many reasons for resulting to breastfeeding. Forgetting formula, spoiled milk, forgetting food, not being able to purchase a pump, or simply as a mothers

There is much controversy over whether women should be allowed to breastfeed in public. There are certain laws set in place to protect women when they are breastfeeding in public and there are also certain ways to disguise it if the mother feels uncomfortable (Women’s Health, 2017). Wearing clothes that are not tight fitting is a good way to disguise a mother who is breastfeeding. Button down shirts and shirts that pull up from the waste are all examples of clothes that are useful (Women’s Health, 2017). Using a blanket is also helpful and it is also advised to maybe practice breastfeeding at home so that the mother feels more comfortable doing it out in public (Women’s Health, 2017). Currently, there are forty-nine states that have laws in

Breastfeeding is such a natural process. It is one of the best gifts a mother can give her child. Breastfeeding is such a great gift that is just keeps on giving all throughout a child’s life. Breast milk is a good source of protein and high in calories. The breast milk boosts the immune system, allows the child to grow big and strong, and even makes them smarter. Despite all of these positive aspects of breastfeeding, when people see a mother in public breastfeeding her child, they become a little disgusted. Breastfeeding in public is legal in the United States of America. Although, some people would rather it not be. People have left restaurants, told the mother to relocate to the restroom, and even suggested the mother to stay home

However, some people think of breastfeeding as Nudity. Breasts are viewed as sexual items rather than a natural way of providing nutrients and comfort for a child. Anxiety about breastfeeding in front of other people affects breastfeeding for women with low self-confidence or who feel society disapproves of breastfeeding in public. They start to feel uncomfortable. Women should be able to have rights to legally breastfeed their babies in public. Mothers report that that they felt more comfortable breastfeeding in a park than a shopping mall. In some cases, women are asked to leave the premise due to them breastfeeding. Parents do not want to explain to their children about breastfeeding. So, they label breastfeeding in public indecent. Parents who are concerned about their children asking questions should just explain to them. This will help people understand the benefits of breastfeeding.

According to The Equal Opportunity Act and the US Department of Labor, a mother should be able to breastfeed her child in public and in her place of work. Even when it is a protected right, public perception varies on the delicate issue of whether or not a nursing mother should meet the necessities of her child in a public place. If babies have the right to eat and people do not complain or judge when a baby is being bottle-fed in public, then mothers who choose to breast feed should have the same right. Many people are not well informed of the all the benefits that breastfeeding offers the child, mother, and, even the public.

In the European American culture, we tend to exemplify repulsion when discussing or observing natural female habits – breastfeeding and menstruation. In your initial discussion post, you stated that you nursed your son until the age of two, while receiving looks of disgrace. While I am not a mother, yet, I can relate to this topic, due to social media. Over the past few months, I witnessed multiple social experiments illustrating how society views a breastfeeding mother compared to a woman dressing scandalous. In complete astonishment, society tended to accept the scandalous women over the breastfeeding mother, often telling the breastfeeding mother to cover herself or go into a public bathroom. In your opinion, why does our society shame breastfeeding mothers? Do you believe social experiments,
