Facepalm.

Oh Facebook. You are so full of breast envy. Another breastfeeding page has been removed from Facebook for violating TOS. Explain to me how breastfeeding is violating this? So let me get this straight Facebook, woman can basically have nude photos on Facebook, but a breastfeeding mom can't post any breastfeeding pictures? I see.

I think what irritates me the most is that this keeps happening. Why is the real question here. Breastfeeding is a natural way to feed your child. If you are so offended please feel free to cover your head with a blanket. I am doing what is best for my child. I will keep on doing what is best for my child, even if you are offending. My child's health will come before your stupidity. There is no reason why I should have to cover up my child. Do you cover your head to eat? I think not. Breastfeeding is a beautiful thing. Lets not make it so ugly and offensive. I do not have a problem with woman that cover up and want to be discreet about it. I feel that every woman has a right to choose if she wants to cover up or not. We should not have to feed our babies in bathrooms to make others feel better.

Facebook is hindering breastfeeding mothers. Those pages they keep deleting were support groups, a community of supporting mothers supporting each other in breastfeeding. I know I went to them almost everyday for breastfeeding advice. I know countless others have too. The Leaky Boob and pages like this keep getting deleted for no reason. Why Facebook, is breastfeeding so offensive to you? Why do people keep reporting these pages? It frustrates me to no end that this keeps happening. Woman need more support with breastfeeding. It should not be shunned and covered up to keep others happy. This is the most healthiest thing you can give your babies and less and less woman do it everyday. The number one reason woman stop breastfeeding is because of the lack of support.

Support your breastfeeding community by joining the Bring Back The Leaky Boob page on Facebook. Support you breastfeeding mothers. They deserve to be supported. The Leaky Boob blog can be found here.
