Breast Is Best #NormalizeNursing

Last month, Yaya DaCosta the runner-up of Season 3 of America’s Next Top Model’s posted two photos of her breastfeeding her son. The first photo was captioned:

I know I’m late, but I haven't been on the computer much lately. I just heard about the uproar over @ash3nicole pic & had to post a copycat photo in solidarity. I hope that you don't mind, beautiful sistren. I’m so proud of you and stand by you! #breastisbest #whattheyaremadefor  #getoverit  #mamasunite#movement

A month before Yaya post, her friend Ashley Nicole posted a photo of her breastfeeding her son on Instagram. Obviously there was backlash to which she posted this witty response, but the controversy only brings up the age old question: When will the world accept breastfeeding instead of condemning the mothers who do it?

This case is one of many. Just last month, Delta Airlines came under fire after a representative told a nursing mother she could not breastfeed her son without a cover. They have since apologized, but not before many mothers and maternity groups alike issued their dissatisfaction.

The Stir wrote this post about 9 Ridiculous Places That Have Hassled Breastfeeding Moms stating that even a hospital chastised a mother for breastfeeding. What are your opinions? Should mothers be forced to hide when their babies need something so crucial as food? Let us know.
