I do not agree with it, but that's just my opinion. I have NO problem with breastfeeding, but I do have a problem if you don't cover up. IMO, exploiting it in a magazine like that is not necessary. JMO.

I see nothing wrong with them.

I don't think they are "awesome" but they don't bother me.

I dont think they are awesome but I dont think they are sexually explict either. It's propaganda. Media. And another way to make a statement. A stab at trying to sway mother who are on the "breastfeeding" fence

I believe breastfeeding is a good and natural thing. If this helps more mothers make that choice then go for it! There are plenty of bottle ads. Why cant this type of feeding be advertised also.

Now, come on now. Dont tell me cause she showing boobie. Because I know quite a few women who show more boobie than that on a daily basis.

I think they are perfectly fine. There should be more pics like that. Our society has become too concerened about image that breastfeeding is looked down upon by many

I still breastfeed and I LOVE the vogue picture! Sometimes I feel unpretty and unwomanly (wow thats ironic!) but seeing a pretty woman with makeup and done up and nursing...the other pic is not bad either...people dont like seeing it though, the pic should have been put on the inside cover. to be PC and all. But i think we'll see it more and more as time goes on.

I think it's great. Yeah, it shouldn't be out and in the open, they can at least cover up with a blankie, but it's life ya know?!
