Earlier, when women would breastfeed in public, many people in the society would object and say it is vulgar. That mothers must not breastfeed their child in public they must cover themselves and feed their child indoors. However now things have changed a lot. For example, the Taj Mahal has come up with special breastfeeding rooms for women and Uttar Pradesh bus stations will have breastfeeding cubicles, too. All over the world as well, many women are breastfeeding in public. Many women say that breastfeeding is very natural. If a woman is outside with her child and the child becomes hungry, feeding the child is priority. There is nothing vulgar in that. A photo of a volleyball player from Mizoram breastfeeding her baby during a volleyball match has gone viral on the internet.
