Get your very own nursing cover! We can't have people SEEING you breastfeed. They might come to view it as normal. Formula sales might drop, and the economy will collapse!!! The end of civilization as we know it!

I guess it could be worse, the Nestle ads could still be there.

i think those are great for people that are shy that would not other wise nurse, but the first one is a bit OUT THERE imo..*sigh*

The google ads are a boil on the MDC butt, I tell you.

Please report these...there's a new thread at Q and A just for the purpose of reporting bad ads.

 

[KittyKat]

Wait, so they didn't listen when everyone said they didn't want these, and that exactly this would happen... but NOW...

nevermind.

 

[bullfrog]

Not 'everyone' said they didn't want these.

How is this "lactivism"?

 

[moonfirefaery]

If people don't want the Google ads then they should fork over the money to cover the operating costs of MDC so that the ads won't be needed anymore.

It is just going to take some time for Google to truly understand what is appropriate material to display in ads on MDC. Be patient.

I just reported a link to a breastfeeding book by Steiner that says it's the "perfect antidote to lactivist propoganda".

Please report things you see too, to the thread in Questions and Suggestions here:

My understanding is that the nursing covers are not incompatible, since MDC does not take a stance on that (similar to the vax ads, they are not going away).

While I don't use anything to cover up, I know several women who do. I think anything that promotes NIP and makes the woman more comfortable is great. My SIL actually uses a Hooter Hider, and she feels more at ease while using it to NIP. She wouldn't NIP otherwise, period. While I'm not in love with the Google ads, I honestly don't think these are ads I would report.

I totally agree. Some women are just not comfortable NIP for whatever reason and that is their choice. I actually think it may be a good thing that the covers were invented because otherwise there may be a lot of "busy" mommies that don't feel comfortable NIP, just switch to formula because it's easier when they are out.
