I am now treading into the area of my former expertise. And I don't mind saying so.
Yes, I was a Lactation Consultant.. IBCLC... for 16 years. Beyond that, I was a Mother & Baby nurse for about three decades. Just this year I allowed my IBCLC to lapse. While I maintain my RN licensure.
So... here's the deal.... if Facebook is acting up, where photos of breastfeeding are concerned.... sic La Leche League International on them. The organization will be quite happy, I suspect, to call in their breastfeeding lawyers .... of which there are always a bevy. (Cuz educated moms tend to breastfeed in very high numbers.)
Applicable laws, of which there are plenty on the books, will quickly be applied to the case. If no suitable law exists to protect breastfeeding mothers in the state Facebook operates out of.... I suspect one will. In 2009. 2010 tops.
No mother's advocacy group speaks as clearly, and with one voice, as does LLLI. My faith in them is boundless.
