Angelina Jolies Breastfeeding on W Magazine Cover

Filed in archive Family Life , Infant Care , Infant Care , Post-Natal Issues by ruth on October 11, 2008

So what do you think of Angelina Jolie's cover photo on W magazine, showing her breastfeeding one of her twins? Apparently, it's creating a stir, with lots of people clucking in disapproval.

Personally, I think there's nothing improper or indecent with the photo. I mean, you hardly see anything! You must have a really dirty mind to think anything sexual in the cover photo ( I haven't seen the rest of the photos within the magazine). Many others have appeared revealing much more skin and people don't even bat an eyelash.

Breastfeeding is natural, folks. I'm with La Leche League on this one:

"Breast-feeding in public reveals a whole lot less than what has been revealed on the red carpet. ... I think we do need more role models like Angelina Jolie willing to be photographed and say, `Hey look, it can be done, it oughta be done,'" said La Leche spokeswoman Jane Crouse.

I"m hoping it will make even more mothers breastfeed their babies. That's what we have breasts for and not for men to enjoy. Breastfeeding has so many benefits for the child and mother too that are very important to the child. I'm glad to see it. Good job Angelina!!!

Ya there is lot of debate going on for whether it is good or bad to show up this kind of photo on magazine cover and also should the women’s be allowed openly to breastfeed their baby. Actually all this depends upon person to person, each person’s mentally is different. Like you said some people has that “bad dirty mind to think anything sexual”. I rather would like to remain neutral about women’s should be allowed openly to breastfeed their baby.

As I am a mom of 5 months old baby and many times it do happen with me that I have to breastfeed my baby in public places such as church or a garden while I am with my 3-year-old boy. At such point I like to use breastfeeding cover or baby shield which I recently bought from http://www.babyboo.com/.
It is great to use this baby shield when I have to breastfeed at church or at the mall, no one even know what I am doing, so I think there will be no problem or objections from the people who are offending this magazine cover page or making shouts against women breastfeeding baby in public places, and also to protect from peoples who has that “dirty mind”.

Angelina is a great woman and most people love her. It is great for social thinkings, if she shows her individual note. And I can't see anything what is wrong.
