This is a beautiful display of a mama feeding her babies. There is nothing wrong with it at all!!!

Please… I have large breasts and you can see just as much of mine when I’m in a bathing suit. There are no nipples showing in her picture, so no indecency. As for the prudes on the view, any self respecting Woman shouldn’t be watching their show.

When I look at that picture I see two beautiful babies hugging their food source. No real difference than two babies hugging their bottles only it probably tastes better and is better for them. I think what she did is good because it will help society shed their puritanical reaction to breastfeeding and start to realize it’s normal, natural, and not indecent.

I think the picture is less revealing than half the junk that is on TV these days and it’s natural. I think society has gone all wrong because the only thing they see breasts for is the sexual content - they don’t understand that they are much more than that in regards to babies. It’s sad that our society has to put such a distasteful spin on everything.

Breastfeeding is great, but if it were me, I’d keep a pic like this w/family. I wouldn’t show this much of myself to strangers?

It’s natural & beautiful! Why isn’t breastfeedimg the norm? It’s a lesson in biology- lots of species do it . People could benefit from knowing babies aren’t fed from a can from the store

The “peeing and pooping is natural too, but no one wants to see it” argument is just dumb. Feeding a baby can’t even begin to fall into the same category.

Interestingly, breastfeeding in public was more common and more accepted 100+ years ago. How sad we’re going backward as a society.

Friend, some boundaries are inappropriate: for example, any “boundary” that prevents the social eating behavior that is a baby’s human right. No one else has to eat alone under a blanket. The sight of nursing babies should be so commonplace that it’s unremarkable, even the “flash” right before baby latches on. It’s a different context - humans are capable of such distinctions. As for what anyone else thinks when I nurse my baby, I neither know nor care. If they’re offended, they can look away. If they think it’s sexy, I guess it’s similar to those who think my Jean-clad behind alluring. Hopefully all concerned can keep their thoughts to themselves.

The shame that you want me to feel about feeding my baby with, gasp, my breasts is misplaced, and it’s efffect on breastfeeding rates and thus the health of our nation is not insignificant.

It is American society that has “sexualized” women feeding their babies the way that God intends. You wouldn’t tell a woman who was nourishing her babe with a bottle that she is doing something wrong, however if a woman choses the right to breastfeed, it all of a sudden becomes inappropriate? Trust me when I say that a woman who is nursing her child does not even think of her breasts as anything more than what they were intended for in the first place.

I think the “controversy” is much ado about nothing. It’s not like she’s revealing that much in a public place! That might be a bit much. But I agree that we see more than this in so many other situations & nobody bats an eye! No nipples are visible.Not even the babies mouths suckling. I applaud her for doing this! And with TWINS!?! We can learn about unconditional love & selflessness from this. It’s not about “the public”, or what’s “proper”. It’s not even about Julie. It’s about nurturing naturally. That’s what breasts are FOR, people. They’re not created for tililation. Congrats, Julie! I for one applaud your decision. :-)
