Wedding party's breastfeeding request spurs debate | WFAA.com
WFAA ^ | 10/17/17

Ceara LaFrance never knew a social media post would create such a storm. It's been several weeks since the post to Facebook about breastfeeding and the responses on both sides of the issue are still rolling in.

It started with a wedding invitation LaFrance and her husband received from the wedding couple Shelby and Garrett. Ceara's husband just so happens to be the groom's best man. The wedding invitation came with a request to nursing moms to breastfeed in a designated area.

"It's something that is natural that shouldn't be shamed," said LaFrance.

I used super-extra-thick cloth pads, but it wasn’t always enough.

I understand completely why moms want to feed their babies when the urge hits: it’s uncomfortable otherwise, even if the baby doesn’t mind taking a bottle. However, going to a corner or another room or whatever, if the hosts ask, is just polite.

Was she expecting that many breastfeeders at her wedding????

It sounds like she was expecting dozens.

The baby is almost 2 now, so she stopped nursing, but I really expected her to be one who followed the kid to preK to hang it out the car window. She’s STILL posting pics of herself nursing on her Facebook-months after it’s over!

For many women, nursing a baby is about feeding the baby, for free. For a few, it’s their whole identity and the world has to revolve around them.

So is reproduction and I think that also should be done in private.

Yeah. I feel a little shame just telling that story. I understand the bride married a good man and they are doing well. So there’s that.

Well dropping a deuce is natural as well and there is a time and place for it.
This is about narcissism plain and simple.
