Can I Breastfeed Your Kid?

Impolite Society: Exploring the Weird, Taboo & Macabre

Breastfeeding is a sacred relationship between a mother and child, where she continues to nourish it with her body. You might say there’s nothing more beautiful, unless your nursing someone else’s kid. Then to some, it’s sexual assault.
Breastfeeding calls out many complicated emotions, even when it’s with mother and child. But how did it get that way. In today’s episode we explore the sweeping cultural and societal changes that took breastfeeding from a normal part of the reproduction cycle to something much more taboo.
We’ll dig into this history to understand how these changes led to where we are today. That’s what you’re in for today, on Impolite Society
