Breastfeeding: So Controversial, It's Art!

Posted by Kelly Mills

breastfeeding decently?Artist Rachel Valley is exploring issues in breastfeeding through photography in a show called MOTHER.CULTURE.ART. If you live in or near Auburn, California (all three of you) you can check out the opening on Thursday, August 9, 2007. The work came out of her own experience as a mom, "After giving birth to my daughter, I started my journey into mothering and breastfeeding, and I was overwhelmed with conflicting information and hostile opinions."

My goodness, there's really people out there hostile to breastfeeding? I'm telling you, there's a whole rise in milk jug art now. However, I did notice that not one of the photographs features this nifty little hat.

For some reason, there's no commenting allowed anymore on the Mobleez hat post.  

I think the idea is quite clever and it's way less in-your-face than a big nursing blanket.  I do think the style is outdated however, and mentioned that to the creator when I emailed her a few weeks ago.

I just used my shirt, making sure I used shirts I could lift up easily when out in public.  

Thankfully, Canadians are too polite to be so hostile to nursing moms like I keep hearing of the US.  If anyone has ever been annoyed with me nursing one of my four kids in public, even past (gasp!) age one, they've never said anything.  I have never, ever, had anyone shoo me or shun me.
