We are rejecting the idea that we bring harassment on ourselves. We will no longer take the blame for other people\u2019s actions and feelings based on how we choose to feed our children. We are busting the myth that women must follow ludicrous rules regarding our bodies. We hear the message loud and clear that our bodies do not belong to us and that this world is not ours; and we\u2019re pissed. For every woman who is stepping out there are even more that continue to be harassed, pushed into silence, made afraid or stop breastfeeding altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Breastfeeding in public will be mainstream. It <em>will<\/em> be. We won\u2019t stop until it is. Until every woman who wishes to breastfeed can do so with the support she needs and the respect she deserves.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thebadassbreastfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/4d6000a5-a184-4e8d-ac43-58f1521c3b81.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4394\" src=\"https:\/\/thebadassbreastfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/4d6000a5-a184-4e8d-ac43-58f1521c3b81.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Ivette Ivens \" width=\"873\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebadassbreastfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/4d6000a5-a184-4e8d-ac43-58f1521c3b81.jpg 873w, https:\/\/thebadassbreastfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/4d6000a5-a184-4e8d-ac43-58f1521c3b81-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 873px) 100vw, 873px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ivetteivens.com\/\">Ivette Ivens<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Everyone plays a role in flooding our culture with images, information, awareness and dialogue about breastfeeding.
