Take the most natural thing you can imagine like eating a sand-wich, and now imagine being told that you can eat it but not in public. Why? Because those around you choose to stare and make you uncomfortable, even rebuke and shift the blame on you. This is what the breastfeeding journey of most mothers and babies looks like in the present times.
Recently a man went viral because he posted on a social media site asking if he was wrong for insisting his sister stop breastfeeding in front of his wedding guests. Hell broke loose as he got major backlash, but had some supporters too.
In 2022, breastfeeding continues to be a touchy topic in our society. While breastfeeding is a baby and mother’s right alike, many choose to embarrass those who breastfeed in public. To breastfeed or not to breastfeed? The royal conundrum.
Our society lives in constant double standards. While there are a plethora of advertisements issued in public interest promoting breastfeeding for as long as possible, on the other hand, we have individuals with the mentality that women should be confined to their homes throughout their breastfeeding journey.
