Breastfeeding is so important! I didn't understand how important, until I had my children. This is really good for raising awareness

Yay for breastfeeding! My sister-in-law told me she thought it was "gross" that I breastfed. My mother-in-law told me that she had not breastfed any of her children and she did not understand why I would possibly want to breastfeed. But I prevailed!

breastfeeding is difficult, especially when people who "don't understand breastfeeding" try to get you to stop.
it wasn't "popular" in the 50's + 60's + 70's + 80's + 90's. the marketing people are targeting women to sell cigarettes + formula + things, plus the government wants women in the workforce, especially after world war 2

yay for samantha, maryam + pappi!
i agree, breastfeeding is so worth it, but not popularly embraced as it should be.

the more support + visibility the better. it's so important for the emotional bonding of mother + child too.
