Breastfeeding/ pumping and the workplace:
I chose this topic because at one time I did have a problem with breastfeeding women pumping or feeding their babies in public.
There is much research to support women who breastfeed because it makes the bond between mother and baby stronger, it gives the baby natural nutrients and antibodies from the mom, and it is convenient and costless. However, the mothers who breastfeed in public like in the mall or at work are discouraged to do so because it offends some people. I believe that women have the right to breastfeed in public if there is no other means for them to do so in private. However, there are many accessories that may be used to help conceal the area around the child's mouth.
Even some mothers who have chosen not to breastfeed are still offended by the whole action of breastfeeding. So it is just not offensive to those who do not have children.
