Petition To Media Regarding Their Coverage of Breastfeeding in Public

I thought babies were fed with bottles when I was growing up. Why had I only ever seen one woman breastfeeding until I was 20. The media have a responsibility to show breastfeeding without hype.

Humans evolved to learn to breastfeed in a social group having seen other women breastfeed. New Mums in our modern world hardly see anyone breastfeeding before they have their own child and that means trying to learn breastfeed on their own is that much harder. Let's help get breastfeeding seen by millions and regarded as normal and try to recreate that supportive social group with a little help from 21st century broadcasting technology.

Please consider the impact on your reporting, negative stories can influence women who already feel self concious about feeding in public.

So important.

Breastfeeding is not a "controversial" topic. It is how human beings have evolved to feed their young. No drama required.
