Breast feeding selfies??

Just really weird.7

Take the baby out of it and I'd say it was the perfect selfie.
On a serious note I don't know how anyone could think it was disgusting but it does seem a bit unnecessary.8 -
Just feels a bit odd, keep it as something for you and your baby / family.2

Its also natural to have a turn-out, perhaps shitting-selfies will be the next thing.13

Taking it too far
I'd think the same about people taking selfies whilst pinching one out.0 -
Depends if the mum's a looker or not2

Generally anyone who takes a selfie is a narcissist but given the growing trend for 'breastfeeding-shaming', it's perhaps not a bad thing to encourage, if only so next time some idiot spouts something about breastfeeding in public being inappropriate, they can just been shown a photo of them as a baby breastfeeding to shut them up.
Honestly though, in this context it isn't sexual at all, and anyone who sees someone breastfeeding and thinks it is inappropriate has issues differentiating the difference between eroticism and feeding a child, that's the worrying thing.7 -
Breastfeeding is "beautiful and natural" - agreed.
I think taking your phone out and reaching it out to arm's length and taking a picture of yourself to put on social media is narcissistic and weird (babies are not fashion accessories).
That said, if it increases the percentage of people that breastfeed (even for these shallow reasons) I'm all for it.8 -

If the person taking the selfie doesn't need to use a selfie stick then her whabs are too small and I'm not interested.14

Normal, natural thing to do.
Very odd thing to take a photo of.6 -

The odd picture for your own family album not weird.
Posting it on any form of public social medium just takes attention-seeking twattery to the next level.7 -
really normal to breastfeed.sadiejane1981 said:Me and the other half have been debating about this, it is apparently the new phase, he said its disgusting and taking liberation too far. I thing it's beautiful and it's photographing one of natures most natural bonds, mum feeding baby. I think if the nipples are not on show then it's not tasteless or pornographic but just natural. What does everyone else think. Beautiful and tasteful? Or too far and tasteless?
Not normal at all to to Breast Feed Selfie... that's just odd why does it need a selfie?0 -
If it's twattery then they are doing it wrong !!!1

I think to promote it, show the world it's something to be proud of, also more young mums tend to bottle feed as its easier as more people can help but if breast feeding is seen as trendy it will encourage young expectant mums to join the craze, breast is best, if babies get it because of a weird craze at least something good has come of it.Dazzler21 said:

If people think breast feeding is a "craze" then the human race is well and truly fucked.8

This. It's not that one is against breast-feeding, but the idea that it needs to be promoted at all. What's unnatural is the idea that other people should dictate where, when and how you should feed your child. Instead of the need to promote breast-feeding, it should be the need to educate people to not hold such stupid views against something completely natural in the first place.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:If people think breast feeding is a "craze" then the human race is well and truly fucked.
Maybe the craze should be 'take a selfie with someone stupid enough to hate breast-feeding'.0 -

My binman does this all the time, I reckon it makes him lose his concentration from his actual work...1

Fair point but there is enough available education and information out there so that peasants don't have to rely on selfie crazes to rear their offspring.sadiejane1981 said:

I weep for humanity when I read/ hear about this sort of stuff. (None of my comments are aimed at you Sadie by the way)1 -

I don't disagree it's normal and we need to move people away from all the fake liquids and powders replacements etc, but that's down to NHS and the government to redirect people.sadiejane1981 said:

just why would you?
can't get my head around the need for people to display every bloody part of their boring lives to friends, families and strangers.
and who on earth started it?
"c'mon Charmaine, just a little bit more for mummy.
hang on, why don't I take a picture of this and let others see what I'm doing cos it's just so like natural and I want others to share the bond I'm sharing with my baby on the privacy of this train."0 -
I breast fed all but one of my kids, the one that i didn't has been the one with all the immunity problems, I don't think its a coincidence, I told the health visitor this back when I lived in Slade green, she invited me to be a speaker at the breast feeding workshop for expectant mums at the Lincoln close childrens centre, I happily obliged. I was faced with 35 expectant mums average age was 20, when asked at the start of the work shop who were planning on breast feeding only a third were and they were the more mature of the group, the others thought it would be painful, or embarrassing or most commonly exclusive of their partners. At the end we were up to 2 thirds but the younger mums were still unconvinced. These workshops are good and informative but I feel if other young mums (selfie generation) would publish that it's not embarrassing, it's beautiful and something to be proud of it would turn the heads for the better for more of that generation, overly benefitting more babies.2
