Comments about breastfeeding posted on Twitter last week by reality TV star, Kim Kardashian, appear to have attracted a lot of attention not to mention a strong opinion or two.
Kardashian’s outburst on Twitter after witnessing a fellow restaurant patron breastfeeding and changing her baby, has in the very least fuelled another debate on breastfeeding in public and given us all the opportunity to voice our opinions. From the outraged to those in support – Kim’s tirade proved yet again that a proportion of the public still believe breastfeeding is something that should take place behind closed (and private) doors.
Ironically, Kim’s sister Kourtney Kardashian doesn’t have a problem with nursing in public. On her blog, she writes that she’s nursed her son “while shopping….in dressing rooms, in my car, wherever I need to. I know that for me, I need to try to cover myself while breastfeeding so that no one snaps a picture. If this wasn’t the case, I probably wouldn’t mind as much because my son is my biggest concern. My attitude is, if someone sees a little somethin’ somethin’, don’t look if you don’t like it.” Mmmm, wise advice for her sister!
