Excellent post and I loved this cover as well. The women complaining are probably the same ones who fake orgasms. I was a nursing Nazi. Hello? That’s why you actually have breasts! Not for pastys.

Quite frankly, I’m not a mother and do not plan to have children…but nonetheless, I agree with you 100%!

As you pointed out, it’s not a sex thing…and no one gets upset when their dog nurses their puppies.

Bah! The issue annoys me too.

Just a thought, but the only women that I know that freak out about breastfeeding in open view are the same women that freak out about “sexuality” in Hollywood and all of that nonsense.

Maybe we shouldn’t be so uptight about breasts in general.

Maybe then we could concentrate on things that really matter.

kudos to you, dana for speaking out! unfortunately, neither of my girls latched on well, so i pumped with both of them (leah for 6 mo. and alana for 1 yr). it’s a fact of life and i wish those who are “disturbed” by it would simply shut their mouths. do they not realize how retarded they sound?

ps. and if i didn’t know this picture were on babytalk with a title related to nursing, i wouldn’t even know it was a breast. kind of looks like an elbow to me.

I’m with you, Dana. Right after my oldest was born, I was flying from Panama to the US, and was seated next to a couple in their 40s. becasue I was still young and unsure of myself, I said to the man, “You wouldn’t mind if I nurse my son, would you?” He said no, but his bitchy wife leaned over and said, “But *I* would.” So I didn’t nurse him the entire trip, and I was sore and leaking and an emotional wreck by the time we landed. That woman had no right to say that, and I was an idiot for listening to her. Nursing is natural, and it should be encouraged, not seen as shameful and indecent.

*tucks away soapbox*

Hope you’re all doing well. Our heat wave has broken, so we’re finally able to go out and enjoy outdoor activities. We’re headed out on the boat tomorrow, so it should be a good day. Enjoy your weekend and take care!

I was totally a undercover breat feeder. It was my own privacy issue. and while I mever really feel entirely comfortable around people when they do. IT doesnt bother me to ever make a comment and it is never sexual. This photo is amazing and beautiful!
Hey ben! I bet there were NO men complaining. Not when there is a big nurishment boob like that!

Ben! I don’t think men really complain unless it’s their wife’s breast on the cover. Yenno?

Hey stranger! Love the new digs.

I wonder what % of complaints came from men? I’m guessing less than 1%.
