i don't think most "westerners" do sexualize breastfeeding. the breast, yes, and to some extent, breastfeeding in public (i.e. showing a breast as being a bit unseemly or scandalous) but not the act of a baby feeding. i don't think it was meant to be a sexual article, just a news article. i suspect, with all the articles the mods get sent, they just go into article posting mode and update this forum at a run.

more importantly, to me at least, is why federal health officials and lactation consultants/nurses (we won't even mention the la leche league ) must make women who do formula feed, feel guilty about it.
