Moms perform hysterical dance to ‘normalize breastfeeding’ in public: ‘We shouldn’t be ashamed’

Breastfeeding is still stigmatized in the U.S. When parents breastfeed in public, they are often made to feel embarrassed or ashamed of providing care for their baby. While not all mothers and parents are able to breastfeed, the pros are hard to ignore.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, it can protect infants from numerous illnesses and diseases. Moreover, breastfed babies are at a lower risk of conditions like ear infections, SIDS, asthma, Type 1 diabetes and obesity.
