The Facebook group called Hey Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene (official petition to Facebook) is hosting a virtual nurse-in in honor of world breastfeeding week. The group is hosted by the organization called The Mother’s International Lactation Campaign (M.I.L.C.) which is “dedicated to the normalisation, protection and promotion of breastfeeding”.
Participation is simple. Just post the words “hey facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene” into your status update. Then post a picture of someone breastfeeding their infant as your profile photo for the week of August 1st to 7th. This picture can be one of yourself, a work of art, or someone else. It can even be a cat nursing her kittens!
