On 15th August mothers, and all of us, should celebrate Public Display of Breastfeeding (PDB) Day. A mother’s devotion to her baby is beautiful. To imagine that public breastfeeding is actually controversial tells me a lot about the negative aspects of some of our societies, My ex-partner breast-fed our child in an Arab airline flying over Saudi Arabian airspace without an issue, and it sickens me when some pathetic official of some pathetic capacity takes it upon himself to prohibit this ********* act — the word is beautiful, not the sick terms used by those with sick missions.

Breastfeeding in public empower mothers and shows the world that if a mother needs to breastfeed, it’s her right to feed her baby whenever and wherever she needs to.

Some cultures take to this option more differently than others. 30% of Germans or Spanish people will happily go to a nudist beach, but only 6% of people from the USA will, or GB. Nudity has different perceptions and is seen in very different ways. However, in reastfeeding the focus need not be on nudity.

You can show your support of breastfeeding by doing your own PDB on August 15. Visit www.thebump.com/pdb to take the pledge and tweet @thebump #PDB to say where you are feeding your baby!

Not a mother yet? That can be arranged… but no naughty jokes about breast feeding me..you can still join the boob-olution by pledging to breastfeed when baby arrives.
