There is no problem with a woman breastfeeding her child in public. It is neither a sexual act nor a disgusting act. To the contrary, attempts to shame a woman for breastfeeding are disgusting. More places around the world are coming to realize that and are enacting legislation to protect a woman's right to feed her baby in public.

This photo of a woman breast-feeding her child attracted much criticism when it was posted to the Weibo account of bjtale.com. [Photo/weibo.com]
