Britain has the worst breastfeeding rates in Europe, USA aren't doing much better either. In short, this is due to the introduction of commercially available formula milk, and breastfeeding becoming "unfashionable". As you probably know, breastmilk is the very best thing that you can give a baby, it has a ridiculous amount of benefits. In order for more women to choose to breastfeeding over formula feeding it needs to become normalised again. In order to normalise breastfeeding people have to be exposed to it more so that it is not weird and so that they are not shocked by it. It should not be a private thing, it should be a sociable thing like it is in many other countries around the world. They don't remove pictures of women flashing all of their cleavage or prancing around in pants with their hands over their boobs. THAT is offensive (and slightly slutty). Breastfeeding is definetely not. Breastfeeders are angry because they feel that by banning images of breastfeeding women (most of which don't even feature nipples) facebook is communicating the wrong moral messages. As facebook has such a large impact on society, it is very important that they play their part in helping to promote breastfeeding, and not making it seem an offensive & disgusting thing that should be censored. If facebook was run by mums and not adolescent boys then this wouldn't be happening.
