Breastfeeding 🤱 Shouldn’t Be A Shame!

I understand the push to normalize public breastfeeding. Women shouldn’t be forced to hide out in hot cars, gross public bathrooms or whatever other nook and cranny to avoid the side eye from people who don’t get it or who are uncomfortable witnessing a mother feed her child.

When I moved to Atlanta, one of the first stories I ever covered as a reporter was when a city just to the south of us banned public breastfeeding of children over the age of 2. A large group of women congregated on the lawn of city hall to publicly breastfeed their children in protest. I wasn’t married and I didn’t have children, although I was in a committed relationship with the promise of both. My extended family was spread across the country, and my immediate family was pretty small and relatively devoid of opportunities to spend time with babies. Needless to say, I had never come across opportunities to witness breastfeeding or develop opinions on it. But I didn’t mind it being planted in a sea of nursing women. It didn’t seem weird or creepy. These women had a right after all.
