A breast is a breast: it's a sexual thing. When nursing moms feel shame or embarrassment they’ll be less likely to breastfeed in public. While lactivists, the name breastfeeding activists have come up with for themselves, defend their right to nurse publicly, others say the pro-nursing argument can sometimes go too far, making mothers who can’t or don’t want to nurse feel guilty.
Breastfeeding should be sold on its benefits. Failure to breastfeed puts babies in danger. Alicia Feldman, an Iowa mother, breastfed all three of her children, including her twins, wears nursing tanks.
Not everyone who objects to public breastfeeding wants a confrontation. Nursing mothers need to go somewhere in private to nurse their babies and not sit and flaunt their breasts in public. When Baby Talk magazine, which bears the slogan "Straight talk for new moms," published a photo of a breastfeeding baby on the cover of its August 2006 issue, a flood of readers objected.
