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.

One of the things fueling the force against breastfeeding in public is that not a lot of people know how beneficial breastfeeding over formula feeding is for the child. According to The Economic Benefits of Breastfeeding: A Review and Analysis Written by Jon p. Weimer, the majority of the American infants were breastfed up until around 1950. In the last 50 years alone, breastfeeding has changed significantly with the creation of synthetic formula, causing the number of infants being breastfed to dwindle off. Between 1946 and 1956, the number of infants being breastfed fell by half, and by 1967 only 25% of America’s infant population was being breastfed at the time of hospital discharge. The numbers proceeded to increase and decrease in the

It is hard to understand the social and medical impact of breastfeeding; however it raises IQ by up to ten points and it decreases chances of cancers and obesity later in life that has the potential to save billions of dollars in health care. It is better and makes more sense to focus on the larger issues that needs attention and public outcry than to waste money, resources, newspaper and media time and legislative actions on the issue of breastfeeding in

Breast-feeding was introduced in the 1800s as an alternative to avoid deadly illnesses that were travelling from Spain, Middle East and Asia. In the 1860s scientists began supplementing animals’ milk as formula; especially for mothers who were not able to breast-feed. By the twentieth century, the United States “experienced a sharp decline in breast-feeding rates for infants and toddlers” (Lerner, 2006, p. 362). The reason for decreasing rates in breast-feeding were due to breast-feeding was seen as public indecency, mothers were headed back to work, and mothers were not encourage to breast-feed their child because some people saw it embarrassing. Due to not enforcing laws that were established for breastfeeding mothers; mothers are not comfortable to breast-feed in public from indecency exposure law, allowed flexibility to feed infant during work hours and also protecting a mother’s well-being to breast-feeding in public without embarrassment.

Breastfeeding with no attempt at being unnoticeable tends to be lacking, but have people really pondered what nourishment is secure, compelling, and promptly accessible? That is designed to individual needs, naturally agreeable, effortless, offers long haul insurance, is free and as a reaction is a weight reduction strategy? Would it be able to envision somebody being victimized for utilizing such an incredible item? Women were given breasts with mammary glands so they could feed and nourish their young. Unfortunately, some people just don't see that. And it is one of the most discussed topics currently. There are numerous individuals who feel that breastfeeding ought not to be seen in broad daylight, but rather in all trustworthiness it is not generally advantageous for a mother to run and stow away when it's an ideal opportunity to bolster her child; a lady does not settle on the choice to breastfeed in light of popular supposition, or accommodation. Breastfeeding in public should be universally accepted because changes need to be made with formula companies, medical professionals, and the public opinion of breastfeeding in order to give nursing mothers the support they deserve.

"How dare you breastfeed in public?", they say. I quickly wanted to shoot back "How dare you suggest my child eat in the restroom!" There are many scenarios is the news where a breastfeeding woman has been asked to leave an establishment for breastfeeding. No one should be forced to nurse (or breastfeed) in a restroom, in there car, or even feel the need to stay home. So long as a woman makes a concerted effort not to bare all, why can't we nurse in public? Society has ruined many mother and child pairs chance at healthy nursing relationship. Mothers feel pressured to only breastfeed at home to save themselves from public ridicule. Many of them as resorted to supplementing with

Alexis TanksleyMr. ArmstrongENGCOMP224 September 2017Breastfeeding in Public The most natural thing that can happen to a woman is when she gives birth to a child. When a woman gives birth to her child, she has a very important decision to make. The decision a mother has to make is whether she should breastfeed or bottle feed her baby. Breasts are put on a woman’s body to help the mother nourish her baby. The baby formula has not always been around; therefore, women have not always had a choice between breastfeeding and bottle feeding. Sometimes, a woman needs to breastfeed her baby in front of others to satisfy the baby’s needs. Breastfeeding in public may or may not cause conflict. Many people feel that a woman

But really, we are just not very used to it. Breastfeeding happens at home, in baby groups, occasionally in cafes you rarely see it in public, and we certainly don’t have memories of having been breastfed ourselves. This private activity between mother and child is greeted with a hush and politely averted eyes, and regarded almost in the same way as public displays of intimacy between couples; not taboo, but slightly discomfiting and politely ignored. When that quiet, angelic newborn grows into an active toddler intent on letting the world know exactly what he’s doing, well, those eyes are averted a bit more quickly and intently, sometimes under frowning

Breastfeeding is natural and breast milk is the best nutritional choice for infants. Breastfeeding helps babies to fight infections, prevent allergies and diarrhea, and protects against several chronic conditions, breast milk contains antibodies that help infants fight off viruses and bacteria, and is easy for an infant’s stomach to digest. Also, breastfeeding helps the infant and the mother to bond and it can help the mothers to lose extra calories fast, which they gained during pregnancy. However, breastfeeding in public tends to be controversial, and breastfeeding mothers are forced to use the public bathroom to feed their babies. If anyone of us can have our lunch or dinner in public, why shouldn’t a breastfed baby has the same rights? And who wants to have lunch in the bathroom? Women should breastfeed anywhere except in the bathroom. women have a legal right to breastfeed her babies in public, and women’s breast is created to nurture babies. People argue breastfeeding in public is indecent exposure and unconformable to those who are watching a mother nursing a child. Breastfeeding in public shouldn’t bother other people because it is unrealistic to expect mothers to feed their babies in places like bathrooms.

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

I also talk about the stigma that has formed around breastfeeding and some reasons why, mainly discussing ideas from a biocultural perspective. In my second chapter I look into reasons why people are against breastfeeding in public, and I also looked into potential social influences and other factors that led people to have the opinion that breastfeeding in public isn’t right. In my third chapter I’ve talked about the benefits of breastfeeding and therefore why breastfeeding being accepted and women feeling comfortable to do it within society is important. I’ve also looked into movements that have arose in order to make breastfeeding in public a social norm and to remove the stigma from around the topic. The final chapter is my personal opinion on the debate and whether I think it should be accepted after considering all the research I have

Have you ever seen a woman who does breastfeeding activity in public? What do you feel when you see them? Does it look okay to you? Or are you even disgusted? There are a lot of people who feel uncomfortable when they see a breastfeeding activity in public. Many people also still look at breastfeeding as a sexual activity that should not be performed in public. Actually, breastfeeding is a good activity that brings benefits for both the mother and the baby. Although many people feel that breastfeeding in public is inappropriate, I strongly believe that breastfeeding in public should be acceptable for three reasons.

Breastfeeding in public is one of the most controversial issues in society today. Breastfeeding has been around since before the 15th century. It is a bond shared between a mother and a child. Research shows that breastfeeding is the best choice over formula because breastfeeding provides the infant with essential nutrients, helps with recovery from childbirth, and protects the infant against a number of chronic conditions. Breastfeeding is abnormal, healthy, natural and need not be disguised, explained, or apologized. You should be able to breastfeed your baby wherever or whenever your child is hungry. Breastfeeding is not a choice it’s a responsibility. It may not be the right choice for some parents, but it’s the best choice for every baby.

For centuries mothers have been breastfeeding their babies; however, breastfeeding especially in a public setting still appears to be unacceptable. The reason why this natural, innocent act is unacceptable is because the breasts are sexualized. This study consisted of a young female in her twenty’s to thirty’s who will breastfeed her infant at the Mall of Georgia while ten confederates analyzed the reactions of the nearby pedestrians. It was found that men especially older men are more likely to be bothered by this natural action. It was also found that these men are more likely than women to say something negative towards the mother breastfeeding her infant because the breasts are for sexual purposes only.

Breastfeeding can be very beneficial to both the child and mother, but it is also something that has been very controversial. We constantly hear about stories of women being asked to cover up or even asked to leave certain public places such as restaurants, stores, etc. when they happen to be breastfeeding their child. I feel as though breastfeeding makes people uncomfortable because women and women's breast especially are looked at as sexual objects as compared to being looked at as a source of providing food for her child. In my opinion, breastfeeding is not something that should be looked down at, its completely natural and it’s something that should be celebrated not shunned. Women’s bodies need to be more understood and not just looked at as just something sexual. In my eyes if you don’t support breastfeeding, especially in public then you don't support breastfeeding at all. To take away someone’s right to openly feed their child when they are hungry, you are taking away a mother’s right to do right by her child. The act of feeding a child should not be seen as disturbing but as
