Breastfeeding is a naturally occurring event which has been happening for a long time(Bushak). Many women around the world have breastfed their babies without much problems and recently women have been judged by many hypocritical people. This issue has escalated to where mothers are harassed or publicly humiliated. Breastfeeding should be public because women should not be afraid and it is a way of life.
So much money is spent on ads like for cars, foods, and even mortgage companies all using at least the attention of breast. Also in stores there are many magazines on display that do show adult content in view of a child. There are not much complaints about this, but when a mother is trying to breastfeed her child in public, most people see it “offensive, inappropriate, or gross" (Bushak). All a mother is trying to do is feed her baby. A mother does not control the baby when it is hungry. She is not trying to impose her nudeness onto anyone 's ' eyes. It’s about a baby being hungry and needing to be fed, and that mother subsequently offering her breast to the baby(Ryan). No mother should be afraid to show people that she is breastfeeding. It is something in life most women do.

If breastfeeding is so natural and essential to reproduction, then how and why did such a negative stigma come about?(Bushak) There is nothing wrong with breastfeeding, its just that society tends to take it the wrong way.Based on heaps of research, there is no doubt that breastfeeding is better for both the mother and child than infant formula(Bushak). Breastfeeding is a way of life and people need to face it. People try to find ways to start issues that are not relevant.Mothers just need help to show that there is nothing wrong with breastfeeding in public. More breastfeeding in public may actually help remove the sexualized stigma from the breast and can change the view of
Why is taking off work to give birth a shame in the work place? It is those every babies that will become the future of America. Taking work leave should not be frown upon, it should be applauded. Senator Kristen Gillibrand, in her editorial explains why the US should adopt the Family and Medical Insurance Leave Act (FAMILY Act). First, Gillibrand incorporates progressive diction so the act comes across as a positive change.
In The Guide “Best Practice Guide from Implementation of Creating Breastfeeding Friendly Space by Jeff Spitz, Sharon Marshall-Taylor, Natalie Felida an entire page was dedicated to describe the problem that led to the need of The Breastfeeding and Policy Intern: “The Brooklyn Breastfeeding Empowerment Zone (BFEZ) is a community-based initiative that addresses the unique structural and cultural barriers which impact breastfeeding rates in Bedford Stuyvesant and Brownsville. The goal of the Brooklyn Breastfeeding Empowerment Zone is to develop a sustainable, replicable, community-based model in North/Central Brooklyn where breastfeeding is the norm and is seen as the default choice for families”. It does so by promoting and empowering community
From my understanding, the reason the public eye chooses to look down upon breast feeding in public is because society sees them more aesthetically opposed to maternally. When seen acting in a maternal way, such as breast feeding a child, people get uncomfortable. The public eye does not want to see the breast in a maternal way because it would destruct the aesthetic and sexualized breast. In 2016, there was a social experiment performed in a New York shopping complex. A woman in a tight, revealing top was gawked at and admired.
For mothers who wish to breastfeed, but also desire a break from the task, there is a simple answer to heading nipple confusion off at the pass. The most important thing to remember is to not offer a bottle until your baby has successfully been breastfeeding for a minimum of three weeks. By doing this, the baby has had the chance to get used to breastfeeding, and the work that they must do to feed correctly. Once the baby is secure in their breastfeeding strategy, then the parents can add bottle feeding of breast milk into the routine.
Pregnancy and birth for the modern Ojibwe woman differs very little from current American practices.

As the mother of an infant however, it is frown upon as people assume you to be relying on the government help and therefore taking advantage of the tax-payers dollars. Still, I am encourage to not only work but to keep going to school and that is a big change from the “mothers needs to stay at home and take care of their children mentality that was popular back in the days”. Also, in today’s society, I am less likely to be refused service or help due to my economic
This wasn’t the case ten years ago. Mothers from the previous generations did not have this right and could be subject to termination if they breastfed their child in their workplace. Ten years later, the nation has moved forward by ensuring that this practice is a right for all mothers. With a new administration and the uncertainty of the Affordable Care Act, mothers are worried that they will have to choose between breastfeeding their infant or facing termination by their employer. Currently, employers are required to provide reasonable break time and a clean private room (aside from a bathroom) for mothers to provide breastmilk to their infant for one year after they are born.
Advertisement has been a way to sell products for a long time, but it may not always come off as the best way to promote a product. Companies will do some of the most outrageous things to their advertisements just to make their product shine. In the documentary Killing Us Softly 4, Jean Kilbourne, she talks more about advertising and the negative impact it has on society and the negative messages it sends people. In the documentary, Kilbourne shows how advertising distorts the image of a women. They highlight horrible situations to make their advertisement pop.
It 's Your Choice We are not all perfect and we don 't live in a perfect world. What 's good for one, does not mean it is good for everyone.

Vaccines aren’t necessarily the most pleasant thing to get from the hospital, but at least we are safe from viruses like the flu. Before vaccines many people had to suffer from painful diseases, that had no known cure. Many parents inoculated their child at a young age with harmful viruses such as smallpox, so they won’t suffer from the disease at an older age. Since then we developed vaccines as a safe way to protect kids from dangerous diseases. Vaccines should be a requirement in all states, and all parents should be encouraged to give their child vaccines.
Breastfeeding in Public Breastfeeding has been around forever now, but it’s now not being accepted to be done in public. Women will hear comments like,” could you please cover up,” or ,“ do you really have to do that infront of me?” Women should not have to be judged for something that is natural and healthy. Now, women are starting to fight back towards these comments and won’t stand for what people have to say about them feeding their child. Women should not have to suffer through the harassment of people saying how it’s inappropriate because it is healthy, natural, and legal.
Women 's breasts begin to grow from the onset of puberty until full physical development. Generally the same size will depend primarily on the genetics of each person although there are important aspects such as age, weight and muscle mass of women. Many women lose weight after many pounds after pregnancy or breast-feeding after a period of suffering a major transformation in their breasts become flabby and fallen, losing its firmness and volume. In some publications it is stated that it is possible to stimulate growth achieving higher volume and an increase in breast size naturally, which is one of the greatest desires of women with small breasts.
People are paid time off for reasons less important than having a baby. Most parents fear the first day they have to leave their baby in a new child care facility. Sometimes the unpaid time that most people take affects their family because everyone struggles when a paycheck is not coming in. The cost of raising a new baby buying diapers, clothes, formula, and medical bills all adds up when there is no income coming in. Some of the recourses I plan to use to back take on the argument are the websites and periodicals, I will research and gather data that supports statistics that show the states that have enforced paid maternity leave in the work place have higher employment return.
Countless adults are surprisingly unaware of the affects of not vaccinating their children. Altogether, 2.5 million deaths are prevented each year with vaccinations, and seven thousand per day (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). “ Using vaccines to help eliminate diseases is essential in reducing the childhood mortality rate,” says the World Health Organization. Vaccines are crucial for a child to receive in order to be protected from many serious and deadly diseases; therefore, vaccinating children should be mandated by law.
