Breastfeeding isn't obscenity. It is the normal way to feed babies and toddlers, if you take into account the span of history and cultures across the globe. The reason people put those pictures up there is to counteract the propaganda and millions of dollars spent by the purveyors of fake baby milk--the hospitals will usually send home packages of artificial milk even with parents who have stated they want to feed their babies the normal way.

Parents, unlike the artificial infant feeding companies, don't have millions of dollars to sink into advertising, but they want to help others avoid the pitfalls of fake milk, like lowered I.Q., increased risk of minor to severe illness and death, and underdeveloped facial muscles. So they put pictures on Facebook and other social sites, and videos on Youtube to let other parents considering nursing their babies that they are not alone.
