Thank you for signing and making a commitment to ethical and responsible coverage regarding breastfeeding in public. With a goal to elevate the conversation and stay clear of sensationalism when the topic is children, this is a commitment to better our industry. Read and share more about this initiative for fellow colleagues and friends here: "Dear Media Peeps: We Need To Talk About Our Coverage on Public Breastfeeding."


For executives, editors, talent, producers, camera operators, columnists and all other members of the media and allied fields:

“I commit to training myself towards more educational coverage of breastfeeding in public and to encourage supervisors and/or staff to do the same. I commit to encouraging my colleagues to this end as well. I commit to only support engagement that doesn’t further perpetuate the notion that this is inappropriate activity. I commit to keep context in mind each time I’m asked to cover a case of harassment/discrimination or breastfeeding — that context being children and the legal rights of women and families."

I have breastfeed all of my four sons and continue to do so with my youngest. More people need to be educated that breastfeeding is beautiful not vulgar.
