Breastfeeding on MySpace




I recently heard about this news story from a MySpace friend. The story is a about a WA mom who has had her breastfeeding photos removed from MySpace. When she re-posted the photos, MySpace told her that they would delete her account if she kept posting them.

Here is the story:

Here is her account:

Here is the online petition mentioned in the story: http://www.petitiononline.com/Brstfeed/petition.html

I have added a photo of Odessa breastfeeding to my MySpace profile. Any moms on MySpace who want to do the same?

That is the cutest pic ever! What a good idea. But if you keep posting them on your Myspace page, I will remove your acct myself. Ha ha! ;-)

I don't have a Myspace account, but if I did, I'd sure post a picture of my own little nursey girl!

You rock! And that picture of you nursing Odessa is so beautiful and tasteful! It really frustrates me that there are so many people out there who are offended by breasts and breastfeeding. Alas. But perhaps our continued outcries, petitions, and education will make a difference! Thanks for taking a stand publicly. Keep it up!
