Facebook flags girl breast feeding doll as inappropriate

Children breastfeeding images on FB

They have deleted these cute, lovely photos of little girls playing with their dolls, saying they are obscene: http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2012/01/10/facebook-brands-photos-of-little-girls-breastfeeding-dolls-obscene-content/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cuk%7Cdl6%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D91386

This is ridiculous don't get me started!!!! Xx

Where exactly is the nudity in that photo? I have photos of myself at parties much more naked than that and I have NEVER gone out in public dressed inappropriately!

they only have catergories that they can put it under- if you want to report something you have to click one of the options and that is the only option they could probably link it too. it is completely silly that they did that, but with all the presure they probably have on themselves to make sure that facebook isn't seen as letting poeople put inappropraite things on there of any type, they went a bit overboard. i can see how it happened, but i honestly feel there is absolutely nothing wrong with the content that was displayed on that website if anything i think it is very positive and setting a very good attitud towards breastfeeding. I remember watching a programme on tv about young mums and there was one girl who had her baby at 15 and one of the scenes showed her in a cafe with her friends and she was breastfeeding her baby- it made me smile and i definately feel children should grow up with a positive view of breastfeeding. I can remember when i was little, must have been about 8 and i was playing at home in my pyjamas but wasn't wearing a top as i was hot from running around, my mum turned around and said to me you need to start wearing tops now rosie because you're getting older. it really shocked me and made me feel very insecure when before i didn't and now as a midwife i can see how young girls especially can be insecure about breastfeeding. I had a lot of pressure from my parents to cover up and that my breasts were private, and to a certain extent thats true, but for young people or anyone that wants to breastfeed this pressure can have a negative effect on breastfeeding. Girls and boys should grow up feeling that breastfeeding is normal, it does anger me when naive people make negative comments about it. When i have children i certainly will be teaching them about breastfeeding whether girls or boys and if they want to breastfeed their dolls then i have no problem with that and in fact i'd give positive reinforcement
