I think I might have been a little awkward at that point but that would be awesome :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-390175 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 23:00:26 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 390175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a FB friend that has posted a few pictures of herself breastfeeding and I was a little surprised. I am not offended by woman breast feeding in public, however we were eating out a few nights ago and a woman had the whole boob &amp; belly out. It was a BIG boob. A little modesty is appreciated especially when I'm trying to eat :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-390169 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 22:43:21 +0000 bpcmarj 390169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My aunt tagged me in a picture of a woman in a wonder woman costume breastfeeding, presumably because she knows I bf. Some people commented on it (her friends) saying how gross it was and how it should not be for people to see. I was a little surprised. </p> <p>I wouldn't put a picture of me up, but I have no problem seeing them. My sister and Mom have taken pictures of me feeding her for "just us". I think it will be nice to have pictures to remember this time by! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-390121 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 21:46:38 +0000 mamimami 390121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently tweeted a pic of myself bfing my newborn in her Halloween costume (giraffe). There was no visible boobage. I still was kind of nervous but i figured what the heck. It went along with a comment my husband made about how it didn't look weird to him because giraffes are mammals too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-390063 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:45:42 +0000 Arden 390063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: That's a beautiful shoot! It's inspiring me to ask my newborn photographer to do some nursing shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-390058 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:41:01 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 390058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the pictures I have of myself BF but probably wouldn't post them somewhere like FB. I feel it's our special time and not something I really want to share. That said, I don't mind when other people post them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-390057 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:40:29 +0000 junebugmama 390057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: It's strange how america views breastfeeding. I think if more woman stopped covering themselves and put pics online, there would be no need for half the breastfeeding threads on hello bee. So many have to deal with comfort in public. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-390046 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:33:36 +0000 MamaMoose 390046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't post one of myself. I think they are totally fine on a site dedicated to breastfeeding. But I don't see a reason to post them to your regular page. I don't post pictures of myself eating... Why post pics of my baby eating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-390043 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:30:14 +0000 mrstilly 390043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I love that shoot! I love to see moms nurse. It makes me happy to see moms who aren't afraid to nurse in public. It is natural and beautiful. I struggled with feeling uncomfortable and worrying what others were thinking early on, even though I did nurse DS a lot while we were out and about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-390040 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:29:29 +0000 sarac 390040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since I'm breastfeeding my toddler all the damn time, I'm shocked that there aren't more pictures of me breastfeeding on facebook. People are probably too polite to post them without asking. I've long since given up caring. I need to get some formal, posed pictures of it. So beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-390033 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:24:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 390033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE seeing breastfeeding pictures... they are sooo beautiful!!</p> <p>But I would never post my own online. I hate controversy and debates and I also am fairly modest. </p> <p>I LOVE this photoshoot: <a href="http://www.brynjaphotography.com/?p=5215" rel="nofollow">http://www.brynjaphotography.com/?p=5215</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-390018 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:15:44 +0000 Arden 390018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm happy when I see them. I think it's helping normalize breastfeeding, and it's a beautiful thing, so why not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-390016 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:14:21 +0000 Foodnerd81 390016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seeing them on baby websites doesn't phase me in the least. If I saw it on FB, I'd be a little surprised (I guess it would depend who it is though). It wouldn't bother me, but I would think about how probably a lot of that person's friends would be bothered by it.<br /> I would not post my own to facebook. I'd be happy to have some pictures like that, but I think I would be selective about who got to see them (not, like, boudoir selective, but I'd only want people I cared about and knew would want to see them, to see them.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-390015 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:13:54 +0000 Bao 390015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't bother me at all...I would probably consider posting one of my own to a closed group about breastfeeding but not to my public facebook page. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-390010 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:09:57 +0000 junebugmama 390010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: In the majority of cases of the pics on the leaky boob, I have never seen a nipple. Babies heads hide nipples nicely lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-389974 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 19:45:26 +0000 prettylizy 389974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They don't bother me at all, I follow The Leaky Boob and the like on FB so I see lots of nursing mama's all the time. I'd be hesitant to post a picture of myself nursing on FB only because I don't want my nipple on the internet, even if it's doing what it was designed to do. I don't want close minded people to judge me based on that in the future (like for a potential job). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-389967 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 19:39:26 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 389967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't bother me to see them. I'm going to make sure I have pictures of me breastfeeding. I think they can be sweet. Some can be over the top too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-pictures-of-breastfeeding-on-social-media#post-389962 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 19:36:58 +0000 junebugmama 389962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The threads about what to do when someone breastfeeds in front of you got me thinking about this. I am very open about breastfeeding and I am currently studying to be an IBCLC. I "like" a lot of different pages centered around bf'ing on fb as well. I have no reaction to pics of people breastfeeding, but I know others in my friends group do. How do you feel? </p>
