In case you have just created an account on facebook and are planning to start a breastfeeding group where you can share photos and experiences, think again!
Facebook has been deleting photos, that they deem obscene, from their network of moms breastfeeding their children.
Karen Speed, a 33-year-old Canadian mother who describes herself as a “lactivist,” tells The (Toronto) Star that such photos led Facebook to delete her account and a support group she had established for breastfeeding mothers.
“After reviewing your situation, we have determined you violated our Terms of Use,” a Facebook employee wrote in an Aug. 27 e-mail that Speed provided to the newspaper. “Please note, nudity, drug use, or other obscene content is not allowed on the website,” the employee wrote, adding: “We will not be able to reactivate your account for any reason.”
Facebook’s official spokeswoman Meredith Chin say that the issue is not the breastfeeding, but the nudity or exposure of the breast.
In a statement to USA Today Facebook’s P.R. department had this to say:
“Facebook does allow mothers to upload and share photos of themselves breastfeeding their babies, and those photos remain available on Facebook as long as they follow the site’s Terms of Use. Photos containing a fully exposed breast do violate those Terms and could be removed,” spokeswoman Brandee Barker says in a statement that was sent to On Deadline
I think people need to just get over the whole breastfeeding issue. Its a boob and the baby needs it for nourishment.
Pro breastfeeding moms find it useful to show other moms the positions that work for them or to just show off the beauty of a happy breastfeeding baby.

The name Cabine, is in honor of the French modernism of the 1930’s that inspired this set–as well as the compact space that a two-piece collection works well for. Beautifully finished in white lacquer and natural oak, Cabine consists of an all-around open crib with storage underneath.
Save your pennies – This crib will set you back $ $1,790.00. at modernnursery.com

Dr. Mark Horton, director of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), today warned consumers, especially parents of infants, to immediately stop giving Baby’s Bliss Gripe Water – Apple Flavored to children because it may be contaminated with a parasitic microorganism called Cryptosporidium, a parasite that can cause intestinal infections. The product is labeled to “ease the gas and stomach discomfort often associated with colic, hiccups and teething.”
Baby’s Bliss Gripe Water – Apple Flavor is advertised and sold as a liquid herbal supplement on the Internet and at various retail establishments nationwide, including in California. Approximately 17,600 bottles of this product were distributed nationwide. This product is labeled and intended for use by infants as young as two weeks old and is distributed by MOM Enterprises Inc. of San Rafael, which is recalling the product. The product is packaged in 4 fluid ounce bottles and identified with Lot Code No. 26952V, expiration of 10/08.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has confirmed through laboratory analysis that unopened retail samples of the product were found contaminated with Cryptosporidium after investigating a confirmed illness in a 6-week-old infant in Minnesota who had ingested the product. No illnesses have been reported in California.
The most common symptom of infection is watery diarrhea. Other symptoms can include dehydration, weight loss, stomach cramps or pain, fever, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms generally begin two to 10 days after becoming infected with the parasite and generally last one to two weeks. While most people with healthy immune systems will recover without treatment, the infection could be serious or life-threatening for certain individuals. Infants, children and pregnant women are susceptible to dehydration, which can be life-threatening, resulting from diarrhea. Individuals with weakened immune systems are also at risk for a more serious and life-threatening form of illness.
Consumers in possession of Baby’s Bliss Gripe Water – Apple Flavor should discard it. Parents of children who may have consumed the suspect product should consult their pediatrician or health care provider if they are concerned that their child has symptoms of Cryptosporidium infection.
