Facebook has a no-nudity policy for photos, as part of which, you may not upload a photo of a woman breastfeeding a child if any part of the breast is showing.

This article explores both sides of the argument and has some interesting tid bits in it.

What do you think?

First of all, you can set up your Facebook account so that only "friends" can see your info and photos. Good idea, period. But also a good idea if you're not crazy about people staring at your breast - or, more importantly, your child.

That said, this is probably just going to be another "breastfeeding in public, yea or nay?" question. I can't imagine the small-mindedness and over-modesty of the person who would be offended at seeing the top half of a breast being used for its original intent, but I'm sure those folk are out there. With such a benign intention for the picture, it's easy to say: "You don't like? Don't look!"
