3. Many consider
breastfeeding in public
pretty taboo. Well, not the
boys at the University of
Texas. They’ve launched a
controversial ad campaign
supporting the right to
breastfeed in public.

4. When thinking of potential places to eat, a public
restroom isn’t as appealing a location as some may
think. Unfortunately many nursing mothers are
exiled here because their public breastfeeding is
‘uncomfortable’ for others around.
Johnathan Wenske and Kris Haro, juniors at UNT,
created this campaign called “when nurture calls” as
a class assignment, receiving a lot of attention. They
created three posters depicting women in a
bathroom stall as they breastfeed with taglines like
“Table for 2” and “Bon Appetit.” These ads ask the
question “would you eat here?” to support bill
HB1706 in Texas, which protects mothers from
harassment and discrimination when they
breastfeed their children in public.

5. Inspired by a 2011 story of a woman who was
harassed in a department store for breastfeeding,
the creatives decided to shoot young mothers but
not as a means to shock viewers. By seeing
breastfeeding from the perspective of moms forced
to nurture an infant in a toilet stall, people might
see that their comfort is costing another’s
discomfort.
Support and criticism about these posters have been
widespread with more than 2,200 Facebook
comments on the campaign. While critics argue that
breastfeeding in public is seen as trashy and exposes
too much, supporters retort that it is a natural
process and “if you have a problem with it, the
problem is you’re staring.”Slide By :- Howard Davidson Arlington MA

6. The Texas bill introduced by state Rep. Jessica
Farrar died in last year’s legislative session but
Farrar intends to reintroduce the idea in
January 2015 with the help of this campaign
reigniting the discussion.
Laws in 45 states and the District of Columbia
give women the right to nurse in public.
However, in many cases, the legislation does
not include an enforcement provision that
would allow the mom to take legal action
against a person who harasses or discriminates
against her. Go figure.
