Indiscreet Breastfeeding Manifesto

Again, i was fascinated with this manifesto, drafted by Sundae Horn lives on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina, with her husband, Rob Temple, and their children, Emmet (6) and Caroline (3). She is the editor of The Ocracoke Observer, the island's monthly newspaper. Although her own breastfeeding days are over, she remains an advocate for nursing mothers and is studying to become a breastfeeding counselor.

Indiscreet Breastfeeding Manifesto


  • I will nurse my child anytime, anywhere, no matter who is present or what I am wearing.


  • I will bare my breast with pride and confidence.- This one i have to re think la...


  • I will not apologize for nourishing and nurturing my child.


  • I will not smother my child with a napkin or blanket.


  • I will smile at everyone around me and ignore rude stares.


  • I will know that I am giving my child the perfect infant food from the most efficient, ecological, and economical delivery system.


  • I will know that I am giving my child the healthy start that is his or her birthright.


  • I will set an example for women and girls, educate the public, dispel breastfeeding myths, desexualize the breast, and make the world a better place, all through the simple act of feeding my child.

it'a good thing to know that i'm not alone...
