Have a few people on my social media who routinely post long statuses with endless pictures of themselves breastfeeding. Talking in great depth about their breast feeding 'journey' and how wonderful it's been etc.
I totally support every mother's right to feed their baby in any way that suits them. I congratulate those who can breastfeed especially for long periods of time (I never could do it) but I just don't get why such a personal thing needs to be splashed all over social media. When does normalising breastfeeding turn into stealth boasting? And why can't we all just feed our kids without it becoming a competition or something we feel the need to broadcast?
For me breastfeeding is to be celebrated and women shouldn't have to hide away but it's also personal enough that I wouldn't dream of splashing photos of myself feeding all over fb - even if I'd been able to. The fact I couldn't makes me feel a bit jealous and inadequate but even I had I still think I'd find this a bit much.
And yes the obvious answer is block or unfriend things that you find annoying on social media but these are otherwise intelligent and pleasant women who I respect which makes it even more annoying!
