Stunning Photos Of Moms Breastfeeding Outside Show Nursing In Public Is OK

Apparently, Bog Dan has difficulty separating art from reality. Anyone who looks at these photos and thinks they are meant to imply that women should get all gussied up and gallivant mostly naked while nursing their babies has obviously paid little attention to the history of art.

P.S. Where the hell do you see the public in that public breastfeeding.? 1 single shot on an almost empty street, 5 shots indoors and the rest in special setups.

Looked at photos critically several times and there is a leaning to playboyesque style photo shoot. These are far from the real world of breast feeding. These photos are more about sexuality than mother feeding a baby.

When I started reading the first sentence it was near exactly how I was going to express my impression. Then I got to the pornographic suggestion and I have to strongly disagree. There's definitely nothing pornographic and the images are indeed beautifully done. But also definitely not how it's realistically done except for one or two. That being said, perhaps if society was a bit less hush hush and ill at ease and and oh so secretive, but more accepting that this is a natural occurrence we wouldn't foster so many people who develop these perversions.

I agree normal pictures. Just i think woman dont need to be so much naked to brestfeed her baby :) Also i found in my area (im from Balkan) can consuming alcohol during pregnancy harm your baby http://poducavanje.com/index.php?action=addthistopic;view=107

Somebody mentions Playboyish, and yes these are 'slick,' promotonal types of shots, whch is fine in itself, but by the same token have some erotism (not pornographic; that'ssomething else and these ain't it). Obviously, not everyone is comfortable with associating breast feeding children with erotics, and I include myself. Love play among adults is another thing entirely, of course.

You must be dumb as bricks if you can't realize that it took hours for these photo shoots. Nowhere in the real world you'll find women looking like that when breastfeeding. This is just propaganda made for the gullible little birdbrains like yourself, WOMAN.

Real women don't breast feed like this. That's the problem most have with it. This is a freaking photoshoot, retouched and photoshopped. This isn't showing something beautiful, it's showing a stylized version of a mother feeding her child.... FOR A PHOTOSHOOT. I have no problem with women breastfeeding in public. But they and their children aren't naked in the middle of a mall or sitting in a field baked or in their lace panties. Sorry, but these pics don't come across as celebratory or empowering, they come across as unrealistic and fetishy.

THANK YOU! We are the only Maximilian species that is shamed for being visible while nursing. The concept of "indecency" is subjective to each culture. Many cultures do not sexualize breasts at all while others believe even a woman's face being visible is immoral. *cough*Sharia Law*cough* It's nothing more than indoctrination. Period.

Mammalian* Man, this autocorrect. >.<

You're right that breasts were made for feeding babies. Penis' were made for producing babies.........so does that mean men have the right to walk about with their penis hanging out? You see it on animals. Being discreet is the reason why we cover up.

Lori, you've got serious problems. You're comparing a sex organ to a organ who's sole purpose is feeding babies. I don't know what to say, other than you should seek help.

UPVOTE!!!

I'm not understanding why your comment has been down-voted. I agree with you 100%. Respect is subjective. In order to have taken these photos, these women probably have more self-respect and self-love than most people. I respect anyone who decides to do what they choose in confidence regardless of what others think about them. Why live life if you're going to let others dictate what you choose to do and how to make yourself happy? Only 1 person deserves respect, and it is yourself. As long as you're happy with the choices you make, f**k everyone else.

The day you sit in public in your boyshort panties with your large breasts hanging out with a look of deep satisfaction on your face is the day the police drag you away in handcuffs and put your child in protective custody. I fully expected to see women in very public places, breastfeeding. I was expecting to see sideways glances from pedestrians or fellow travelers on public transportation. I expected to see the PUBLIC somehow a part of these images... not flowing fields, flowering trees, or snowy rocks. I thought this was a social presentation type of photoshoot. Not a glamour shoot.

Mother's also don't prance around fields naked feeding their kids and if they do, no one is around. Nor do they stand there in their lace panties feeding their babies on the streets. This isn't real breast feeding. This is glamorized, stylized, retouched and photoshopped. That's why I call these cheap and fetishy.

I think public urination is a far cry from feeding babies. A loose correlation at best.

I could go pee in front of, and you would be obviously bothered, but hey...look away its after all the most natural thing for everyone XD LOL

And they are breastfeeding, with all due respect. I remember nursing and this reminds me of those special times(:

I simply can't see how anyone can come to this conclusion, its simply nursing in beautiful settings

Not

At no point in my comment did I say don't breast feed nor that these women do not respect themselves. However you said i shouldn't look if I am uncomfortable with it - I am not uncomfortable with it and encourage women to breast feed but I do think they should not also be allowed to shove it in other peoples faces just because they want to do it. After all I man will be arrested if they WANT to pee and do so in public!! Just show respect for the beautiful time of nurturing your child without demanding the rest of the world be part of it!!!

or dont do it in public in front of everyon, find a more discrete place to do it, no?

Shove it in other people's faces?? Seriously? Are you seriously comparing feeding a hungry infant to DEFECATING???? Amanda, something is deeply wrong with you if you're comparing mother's milk to s**t. Did you feed your own s**t to your children? If so, I hope the CPS took them away and you're commenting from jail.

A man wanting to pee in public and a woman HAVING to breast feed her screaming baby are two extremely different things. A man can wait to pee or go to the bathroom a screaming baby literally cannot wait to be fed. Your logic is baffling.

@Joana Sofia, when a baby needs to eat, they need to eat NOW. Unless a mother and child are going to stay locked up in the house, they will need to nurse in public places. I am a nursing mother, and when visiting my family, my brother (who had never been around nursing before) said, "Wow, I used to think, what's the big deal; just go nurse somewhere private, but now I get it. You nurse SO MUCH. You are ALWAYS nursing! And she cries like CRAZY until she's eating, so you don't have time to do anything except get her nursing as soon as possible." YES. All it took was one day with a nursing mom to get it. If more people were around more nursing moms, more people would get it. Acceptance goes up exponentially just by some brave nursing mamas refusing to stay locked in their houses.

I will feed the beat if it kills me.

That blows my mind that you never once nursed your baby while naked. Like, you must have really had to go out of your way. I nurse my baby in the bathtub, in bed, etc. And skin-to-skin contact is so important for them at the beginning. What were you afraid of?

Also, they're not even naked. Your issues are your issues. Live with them or try to deal with them, but do not come spew your hateful judgment ("perverse"!?) on other people who are doing the most basic, beautiful, innocent thing I can think of -- feeding their children.

I find it disheartening that most of the people protesting are women. So many ladies who are uncomfortable in their own skin. That is precisely why this artist is trying to remind us that it is beautiful. We, as women, are beautiful. We should not be ashamed.

Except not one of them is natural. They're all made up, retouched and photoshopped....and who sits on the snow in a gown breast feeding a baby without bundling that baby up. This is far from natural beauty. What mothers sits in her window naked, breast feeding her child?

I don't think time or exposure with change ANYTHING. People will ALWAYS have their opinions on the issue. Some people see these pictures as a treasure trove for sickos to copy the photos and use them for perverted/obscene reasons. Like it or not THAT does happen. Personally, I NEVER breastfeed in public BECAUSE of weirdos with their cameras. I pumped and took bottles. If you want to breastfeed in public, go for it, but don't forget that there WILL be those who WILL snap pictures of you and use them against you knowledge/wishes.
