The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is upset with Facebook because the social networking Web site has a ban on photos of breastfeeding mothers.
"Such a policy perpetuates the notion that breastfeeding is an unseemly bodily function best kept from public viewing, a misguided and antiquated concept that has no place in contemporary society," the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine states in a written statement issued today. "It further perpetuates the idea that formula feeding is normative when breastfeeding is, and should be considered, normative infant and young child feeding. Health professionals widely acknowledge that breastfeeding is biologically unique and appropriate for the mother and infant."

It is really hard to believe that today there still exist people who are very narrow minded...........especially if they are using such a progressive networking tool as Facebook.
