What do you think?

DH and I are having a lengthly discussion about this article:

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/05/31...est=latestnews


His words exactly: "ask the forum and see what the internets say!"

I'm sworn to my secrecy on my opinion as to not sway yours!!

I have no problem with the photo. I think the position of the mom feeding her twins is planned to be provocative, most women I know (even moms of twins) don't breastfeed like that in public.

I kind of think it's a cute picture. Is that weird? It's not confrontational the way the Time magazine cover was, and it shows the moms happily feeding their kids. I know nothing about rules for photographs in uniform, but from the article, it sounds like its allowed.

I have no problem with it either. Perhaps I'm dense but I don't understand the comment that this is disrespectful to the uniform. People do lots of things on uniform, I don't see why this is offensive.

Didn't read the article but I see nothing wrong with the photo. I know moms who tandem nursed and would nurse both kids in public at the same time. (I didn't nurse both in public at the same time when I was tandem nursing - but the photo is posed and part of a campaign so it makes sense to display both kids at once.)

didn't read the article because frankly I'm tired of debates over what should be non issues!

I thought it was beautiful, sweet, happy & NATURAL!

I have no issues with it, but the military might. They tend to be kinda picky about what people do while wearing a uniform.

I really like the picture, but when you are doing something in your uniform, you do need permission. I would feel the same way if it was a firefighter handing out food at a food pantry. When you have your uniform on, you are representing your employer, in addition to yourself.

As a mom who nursed twins thru 10 months, she does a good job of covering up. I almost always had a nipple exposed lol!! But I was too modest to nurse in public. Because ppl stare when they see someone nursing twins. Ppl stare when they see twins regardless!!!

I don't know what the rules are about nursing babies in uniform. I have seen moms nurse in uniform at the dr office before--- in the waiting room etc. but I do know that our hospital encourages moms to use the nursing room--- so I bet the official line is nursing in uniform isn't banned but isn't encouraged...

[diggitydot]

I should probabky clarify: I don't think the military would ever have a problem with moms breastfeeding in uniform, but I think they might have an issue with personnel being photographed while breastfeeding in uniform.

Doesn't bother me in the least.

slow news week?

*yawn*

Eh, I've got a pair myself. Not like I haven't seen them before.

The breast as food source is taboo, but the breast as pleasure symbol is a-ok.
Things that make you go, "Huh??"
