I *finally* put my finger on what was bothering me so much about this whole mess. All these people keep going, "But breastfeeding is natural! Babies need to eat! Blah blah blah!" Which, yes, if the kid needs to eat, the kid needs to eat. But, um, an icon of you showing off what a good breastfeeder you are doesn't really *do* anything in that regard. 100x100 pixels don't feed your kid, or give it, y'know, antibodies and stuff, or really do anything except show off what a GOOD MOTHER you are to the whole LJ world.

In summary:

Actually breastfeeding your baby = providing child with nutrition.

Icon of you breastfeeding your baby = OMG I'M SUCH A GOOD MOMMY LOOKIT ME LOOKIT ME!!!!
