Breast Feeding Babies

Breast Feeding Babies is Healthier

We live in a busy world and nature itself seems to be out of reach. When I say nature I mean what are the most fondamentale values since the humans walked on this planet. What could be the most natural thing to do and what all the other female mammal animal do? They breast feed! But strangely enough, if you ever want to get people worked up, talk to them about breast feeding babies. Though almost everyone knows that this is the best darn thing you can do for your young ones, there are many people who simply think it is something to be hidden, and should not be done in public area.

Those of us, both moms and dads, who have had children in our homes know that young babies need to eat quite often, and that you never know when you will have to stop what you are doing to feed your child. Does that mean a mother who breastfeeds should be locked up in the house until weaning? Where all these strange ideas come from? Religion? I wont go into that debate because it is not the goal of this article...

There are many and obvious health benefits for breast feeding babies, but the general public seems to shy away from any display of breast meant for this purpose. Breast is associated with sex. The irony of that is that this is what the breast was built for. The main purpose of breasts is feeding a baby. Our society has spent so much time sexualizing the breast that they are embarrassed when it is used for its real purpose, but have no issues with low cut dresses and even strippers. It makes no sense at all to me.

Breast Feeding Babies in Public Area

Those who have breast feeding babies certainly don’t want you staring at them, but they do want you to know they are caring for their babies, and this is one of the most natural things in the world you can do. The animal kingdom don't even think of any other way. Intelligence is a two sided coin it seems.

Those who have breastfeedingbabies should not have to worry too much about people freaking out when they feed their children. Most of them are aware that it makes people uncomfortable, but they also know that breast feeding is way more important than what other people think. Some like to use blankets to shield their baby and their breast, but they do that more for other people than themselves. Even those who are normally very shy will not have issues taking breast feeding babies out with them. It’s everyone else who has the problem. Society in general needs to grow up.

There are some places who have special areas just for breastfeedingbabies, but you shouldn’t use them if they are not comfortable and clean. If someone makes up a special place that is intended to give you privacy and comfort, that is one thing, but if someone throws you in a corner out of embarrassment, you don’t have to go there. You have rights. You can do what you have to do discretely in almost any public area. If the looks bother you, use a blanket, but remember, your baby’s health is more important than what some random, uptight stranger thinks. Your baby will enjoy the life long the benefits of breast feeding. You should be proud of it.
