SINGAPORE: For one Singapore mother, she is fed up with the ongoing controversy surrounding breastfeeding in the city. “I just want to be able to do what is natural wherever it is needed,” Rina told Bikaymasr.com on Sunday during a small protest to promote the ability of mothers in the island country to be able to breastfeed in public. “We aren't doing anything erotic so what's the big deal,” Rina, 25, a mother of a 7-month-old boy said. Around two dozen mothers and their babies were part of the 15-minute demonstration that saw them breastfeed their children in public. The protest saw some curious onlookers, many of whom laughed slightly and continued on their way, which organizers said showed that breastfeeding in public is “no big deal.” The protest aimed to show Singaporeans that breastfeeding was a natural part of life and should not conflict with the city's cultural and social customs. The event organizers included the Breastfeeding Mothers' Support Group Singapore, Association for Breastfeeding Advocacy and the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative's Singapore committee. Lena Goh, volunteer and spokesperson for the organizing committee, told ChannelNews Asia that nursing in public is not indecent exposure nor inappropriate behavior. “Every so often, we hear of cases of mums who are made to feel like they are not welcome to breastfeed in establishments such as shopping malls or restaurants. This is a worrying trend. Breastfeeding is simply feeding one's child from one's breast and it is every mother's right to do so,” she said.
