...this all start? It was last summer. My daughter was three months old and I was a member of a couple of different breast-feeding groups on Facebook and one of my friends from there had her profile picture of her breast-feeding her baby removed. She was also banned. After that, I decided to put a picture up of me nursing my daughter and it was taken down...
...picture of you and your daughter in protest? Yeah. Initially, it was to say, "Hey Facebook, don't classify breast-feeding pictures as obscene." So many people joined, it kind of just became a network for women to find help and ask questions. I think that's a great result. Since then, it's really grown.

I can understand where they're coming from, but the bottom line is you can't say that you can't show areolas or nipples because some women have very large areolas and even when the baby is latched on properly, it still shows. It's not fair to these women. When there's a bottle-feeding baby, there's nothing that has to be private. You don't have to hide it from anyone or be nervous about anyone seeing. It should...
