Breastfeeding pictures – While the world has always known that breast milk is the ultimate in nutrition for a baby, further testing continues to reveal the huge advantages to breast milk over formula. In February 2016, The Washington Post published the findings of two separate medical journal reports that revealed some astounding results. Not only did the study reveal that the babies being breastfed were healthier, but that 823,000 children’s deaths would be averted within a six month period if they were given breast milk.

The positive effects of breast milk included a lower risk of asthma, warding off infections, preventing leukemia, preventing diabetes, and even increasing intelligence.
Although many realize the benefits of breastfeeding and understand that it’s completely natural, there still seems to be a certain stigma surrounding it. Regardless of the benefits for both mother and child, women face a plethora of judgment from other women, men, young and old. Weighing in on everything from where a mother is allowed to breastfeed to what age is appropriate wean off a child, nowadays breastfeeding is one of the hot-button topics for headline grabbing news.
No one seems to be exempt from this judgment, and even celebrities have had their fair share of shaming headlines for their breastfeeding choices. This is ironic since these same publications often go out of their way to highlight barely-there clothing on the red carpet or topless sunbathing on the beach, but a mother breastfeeding her child can be scrutinized to a different level.
Check out our list of the 12 most shocking breastfeeding headlines, and decide whether or not you agree with these parenting choices.
12. Pole Dancing And Breastfeeding
It’s difficult to think of pole dancing and breastfeeding in the same sentence. While they both involve exposing a woman’s breasts, the act of infant feeding isn’t exactly known for evoking the same sexual arousal as seeing a woman slide up and down a pole swinging a few strategically placed tassels. Yet, one California mother has decided to combine pole dancing with breastfeeding in a video that went viral.
Ashley Wright had already come under fire a few years ago when she posted videos of herself pole dancing while her young daughter watched, and even strapped the young girl to her back in one of the videos. However, it’s the breastfeeding videos with her youngest child that has truly sparked the most outrage. Her baby is strapped to her body in a sling carrier, and can be seen breastfeeding while Wright whips up and down the pole. The video was first seen in January 2016, but has since made its rounds on YouTube.
Allegedly, Wright made the video to show off her passion for both pole dancing and breastfeeding, and claimed that it was about showcasing the strength factor in acrobatic pole dancing. While it’s true that more people have begun to see the athleticism required in pole dancing, it still doesn’t sit right to see a woman working the pole with a baby strapped to her breast.
