So do they crown a winner based on taste testing or by volume supplied? Or are the children crowned winner? This just brings up all kinds of logistical breast related questions. Which aren’t bad questions to be asking.

“Yeah like that counts!” (Your response to someone emphasizing the “physical and emotional benefits of breastfeeding.”)

I clicked on this article hoping to find a fun and positive story about an unusual way to promote breastfeeding. Instead I read with amazement your incredibly ignorant, misogynistic, sarcastic (and dare I say bitter?) piece of drivel. You apparently are unaware that millions of women around the world (from Third to First World) are forced to struggle for the simple and basic human right to breastfeed their babies. Thousands of babies die needlessly every year because their mothers were encouraged to give formula rather than breast milk. That counts.

These photos are “uncomfortable” only because you have placed them in the context of a culture that fetishizes the female breast as a sexual object. What I personally find more uncomfortable is seeing women (including teenagers) who have had their breasts surgically mutilated simply to conform to this sex-breast fetish.

One could make a point that breasts ARE sexual, and so is childbirth and so is breastfeeding. But, alas, these are the very aspects of women’s sexuality that are so terribly frightening to westernized and “educated” moderns. So we go on accepting bare breasts in a magazine or on the beach IF they are firm, round, and unmarked. But the sight of a mother nurturing her child (something powerful, instinctive and elemental) is laughed off as slightly “obscene” or ridiculous.

RE Kris: The breastfeeding nazis, lady and gentlemen….no sense of humor included.

Wow, Kris, how do you manage to walk with that stick up your ass?

This reminds me of my college days. I studied nursing.

Please leave Kris alone, she (I presume) seems to be suffering from an Irony Deficiency.

Peru, here I come.

@Kris: Lets go burn some bras in front of the white house. Viva la revolucion

I giggle at the mom in the first pic who is on double duty.

You are so right Kris - - and the people whop have made remarks to you in a disparaging way are those people in which have taken root in the patriarchal race to possess and abuse/take advantage of/sexualize the amazing creature that is Female.

Also, those pictures of the babies are beautiful and loving - and the Mom with the twins is an amazing woman!!
