This is not gross at all. Breastfeeding is totally natural, and you can do it in public whenever and wherever you want, as long as it's necessary. It's better than a screaming baby, and if you don't like it, you don't have to look.
And yeah, I came in here mostly for a picture of Beyoncé's boob.
It's not gross but it kinda looks unclassy if the ladies pop out their tities and doesn't cover the baby when they're feeding them, which it's not the case with Bey because it's almost a fact that if she did, she covered it
yes, blue.. get the goodness milk from that golden titty.
but seriously, titty feeding is totally natural..breast milk is actually better then formula.. because it has more nutrients then formula and keeps the baby healthier.
I wish everyone would stop sexualizing ****. The purpose of the breast is to feed the child. You eat in public, so a mother should be allowed to feed her child in public as well without everyone crying. If you're offended by breasts because you choose to sexualize them, that is your own problem.
Lots of women breastfeed in public. It's not done for the purpose of garnering attention, so I don't see why people would are repulsed by that. Hell, a woman going topless in public for no real reason seems to garner a less visceral reaction than a mother breastfeeding her child, which is pretty ****ing sad to say the least.
Although in Beyoncé's case, I highly doubt this story as true, as she can afford to be given privacy at any moment's notice when the need arises.
Breastfeeding Advocates Praise Beyonce for Nursing Daughter in Public
Breastfeeding advocates are rejoicing and praising Beyonce after the pop star was spotted breastfeeding her 7-week-old daughter, Blue Ivy, while dining at NYC’s Sant Ambroeus restaurant Saturday with her husband, Jay-Z.
A megastar helps to take away the stigma of nursing in public, experts said. And role models are needed to help young women see the value and the beauty of breastfeeding, said Dr. Ruth Lawrence, professor of pediatrics and obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Rochester School of Medicine.
“Beyonce appears as a beautiful, loving new mother,” said Lawrence. “She has dressed to carry and feed her baby when needed. *She makes a model image.”
Beyonce’s public breastfeeding comes on the heels of a grassroots-organized “nurse-in” at Facebook offices around the world. The social network had flagged or disabled the accounts of some moms who had uploaded breastfeeding pictures, which sparked the February nurse-in where mothers went to Facebook offices around the world to protest.
“I think Beyonce has a huge impact on being able to re-normalize breastfeeding and give women confidence to do the same,” said Emma Kwasnica, a childbirth and breastfeeding educator who helped spearhead the Facebook nurse-in. “Images of pop stars and celebrities giving their babies nourishment will never harm our cause.”
While breastfeeding is natural, the act has been marginalized and stigmatized in American culture, said Dr. Alison Stuebe, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at University of North Carolina Health Care.
“[And] at the expense of the health and well-being of mothers and babies,” said Stuebe. “By bringing breastfeeding into the mainstream, Beyonce can help break down barriers so that mothers and babies can breastfeed in peace.”
Stuebe said the stigma likely goes back to America’s Puritan roots, along with marketing ploys created to sexualize women’s breasts as toys for men rather than a way to feed their children. She noted that, in 2006, a breastfeeding mother was kicked out of a Victoria’s Secret store because the staff found the act indecent, “in the middle of a commercial display with larger-than-life miracle bra models.”
“I am sure there was much more mammary tissue visible at the other tables in the restaurant [where Beyonce was], as women tend to display plenty of cleavage in public these days,” said Lawrence. “Breastfeeding is not ****ography as little or no breast is visible when a woman breastfeeds in public.”
They just had a big protest over this at Target because a woman was asked to leave for nursing in public. I would prefer it be done more discreetly/privately, but why make a big fuss over a natural process?
