Breastfeeding is a natural and normal process and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. There is this notion in most parts of the world that breastfeeding is something that should be done behind closed doors and never in public. It is due to the sexualization of the female anatomy, namely the breast, which is seen as purely a sex object and too obscene to be in public.
When we are hungry we have no qualms grabbing a snack on the streets or eating a candy bar or a bag of chips on public transit. We do not rush home lest anyone see us eating. So why impose rules on an innocent child whose body has not learned a schedule yet. Why should we deny it food when it is hungry and crying. Whether it is on public transit, at a wedding reception, or even a place of worship, in an ideal society a woman will be able to feed her crying child breast milk wherever and whenever without any judgment.
Celebrities who show of photos of breastfeeding are not merely promoting breastfeeding. They are promoting the normalization of breastfeeding no matter where it occurs. If you are grossed out by breastfeeding or salivate like a lecher because of boobs, then there is something wrong with you.
That all being said, contrary to the popular belief formula is not toxic or poison either. Formula is a healthy and safe choice to nourish a baby as either a supplement or replacement to breast milk.
Many women do not produce enough milk and some do not lactate at all. Many women can experience painful tenderness and soreness. breastfeeding. A working woman's schedule may not match the baby and breast pumping equipment can be uncomfortable, inconvenient, and expensive. So for a multitude of reasons women need to supplement or replace breast milk and no mom should be shamed for it.
