Nursing moms protest ‘The View’ comment June 9, 2005

According to this article all the hosts of “the View” support breastfeeding…. but apparently they just don’t like looking at it?

Hurray for all those mothers who managed to get out for the nurse-in.
It is so sad that we must even live in a society in which we must protest such a thing as breastfeeding. Nursing is natural and healthiest way to feed our children but the best kept secret is that it is challenging. I don’t know too many mom’s who didn’t have sore nipples, couldn’t get their babies to latch right away, had blocked ducts, or yeast…. the list goes on. The very last thing that women need is to feel criticized or alienated about doing it whether in general or out in public.

Breastfeeding mothers should be applauded for what they do. They’re doing society a favour in helping our next generations be healthier and smarter. And look what they get in response!
