My Thoughts on Breastfeeding and Public Perception Breastfeeding is a natural and beautiful act that provides numerous benefits for both the mother and child. However, it is unfortunately still a controversial topic in our society. While I fully support and encourage breastfeeding

Please tell me your thoughts about the questions below:
What are your thoughts on breastfeeding in general and when women breastfeed in public?
Do you think there is an age when it is no longer appropriate for a child to be breastfed?
If breastfeeding is so beneficial, then why do many Americans have such strong reactions to a photo of a toddler breastfeeding?
Is there a point after which breastfeeding feels “unacceptable” in Western society? Why?
Does our view of the breast as a sex object cloud the issue at all, and how does the father figure into the issue of whether breastfeeding should continue long term?
