Feeding babies, breasts, planes, cameras, and discrimination
My baby and I are going on a plane this week and one writer thinks I can expect to feed my baby without someone wanting to take a picture of my breast. Are breastfeeding moms asking for leers and jeers or for people to photograph them and their feeding child when they are out in public? On a plane? Why do some consider it acceptable to treat breastfeeding mothers this way when any other group of people would call it discrimination? Is there any hope that society will finally grow up about breastfeeding?
My Mommy Bliss
I peeked around the corner into where I heard the sounds of baby babble. She had been on the look out for me, immediately rolling over onto her tummy and smiling tentatively. Stepping into the room I greeted her softly and she laid her head down and smiled, a shy lopsided smile. She was happy to see me and I her. We had been apart for several hours. Now, after a long nap, we were finally reconnecting.
Better than bling
Convenience or principle, either way you look at it, everybody looks great wearing a baby!

A market for breastfeeding support- The Family Friendly Business Initiative
The Family Friendly Business Initiative is helping businesses supportive and welcoming of breastfeeding connect with moms that are in need of breastfeeding friendly environments. Mothers are a significant portion of the spending demographic, businesses know this, so for them to provide a safe place for moms to breastfeed without fear of harassment or discrimination can provide a boost to not only the family but the business and community as well.
