Cute title, but for shame, breastfeeding? Shouldn’t the moms be feeding thier children melamine laced powdered milk from China? Whats the big whoop, to me this is silly, breastfeeding is a natural, nonsexual part of life.

I’m sorry, but I don’t see why a woman would find it necessary or desirable to post a breast-feeding picture. And I appreciate Facebook’s efforts to keep it clean. While there is of course nothing unclean about breast feeding, it’s crystal obvious that you have to draw a line somewhere, and “no bare breasts” seems like a pretty intelligent place to start.

Let them leave. Just like FR, Facebook can dictate what it will and will not allow.

They can start their own site “BreastBook” or something.

I am all for breasts but Facebook has their policy and this woman really should be smart enough to know that deliberate pictures of her breast feeding is going to cause problems. IF you want to do favor for a cause, such as breast feeding, don’t stick your breasts in others faces or try to skirt rules and guidelines. People will be more supportive. She is also welcome to start her own social network web site specifically for those who like to breast feed.

I'm clearly old. The entire Facebook thing goes right over my head.

On the one hand, people demand their privacy. Bush is a wire-tapper, voter IDs for elections are bad, abortion is covered in the privacy clause in the Constitution, blah, blah, blah.

And on other hand, people want to publish pictures of themselves and details of their lives that are nobody's business at all. And these things seem to blow up in people's faces all the time -- and do they learn?? No. They just create new Facebook entries to complain about how their life was ruined because some ex-boyfriend saw something on their site and is now causing all kinds of trouble. Duh.

Facebook is used by children and adults. I think breast feeding is a great thing to do for your children. My first wife breast fed both of our children, and I was very supportive of that. I don’t think asking folks not to post pictures of it in public on facebook is a slap in anyone’s face. It’s merely the realization that kids are on there, and nudity isn’t necessary on that sight.

There are plenty of ways to post nude pictures on the internet. There are plenty of ways to develop special interest forums, where breast feeding can be heralded, advocated, and supported. I would support that effort.

These women should be more in tune with young men and the drives that they experience in their formative years. IMO, they are not using very good judgement here.

What did these protesting moms do before facebook came along? Did they take pictures of themselves breastfeeding and staple copies to all the telephone poles in town?

I read this article as I like to keep abreast of things. I am not a boob. Indeed, I am the milk of human kindness. I’m going to stop now as I may be busted by the moderator.

I can never understan why it is perfectly acceptable to show ugly nasty man-boobs on the web or in polite company, but not acceptable to show nice woman-boobs.

If Facebook had simply asked the moms to mark these pictures as private, or limit access to adult family members, this whole controversy could have been nippled in the bud.

I remember a little thing that was in Reader’s Digest when I was a kid, probably around 1955. A medical student was asked on a test to name five ways a mother’s breast milk was superior to other forms of nutrition. He was at a loss for a number five and wrote in “packaging more attractive.” He was given credit for a correct answer.

Isn’t it funny how things stick with you for 50 years? And not just things about breasts! I remember several of the articles from RD in those days.

Of course the story is not accurate. What Facebook banned, and it’s been the rule for a while, was any picture that shows the areola in any way regardless of what verb is going on in the picture. A few of these nursing pictures that showed areola and got rid of them. Then a bunch of people decided FB was banning pictures of women nursing and blew the whole thing out of proportion. Nursing pictures aren’t banned, areola pictures are, if your nursing picture shows areola it’s forbidden, if your picture of some verb other than nursing shows areola it’s forbidden, if your nursing picture doesn’t show areola it’s not forbidden.

How are young mothers supposed to troll for beefcake if they’re not allowed to flash boob where the beefcake is?
