Breastfeeding During the 1950's was Considered Disgusting

I am surprised to know that breastfeeding in the 1950’s was considered old-fashioned and labeled as disgusting within the media. How it was practiced by the uneducated and taught to those of the lower class.

I’m all for breastfeeding and how if you choose to or not it is okay with me. This is your choice and your body. I just do not think that breastfeeding should be frowned upon or should only be catered to the lower class.

It was confirmed that people who could not afford formula had to breastfeed and this caused them to be looked down upon a lot by many people even those in the medical field. I think that one should not be judged whether they choose to breast feed or not.

As many just prefer it or that their baby does not take formula. Everyone has a different reason of doing things and it might not make sense to others.

Back in the 1800’s and 1900’s breastfeeding was encouraged, and I stand by this statement as it should be supported. Breastfeeding experiences are different for everyone as well.

Some may love breastfeeding and others may not like it because of the way it feels, or it just hurts. Others do not want to bond with their baby this way and that is okay.

Many may say your supporting bad behavior as the child grows up and how it is inappropriate to breastfeed. I do not think by feeding your baby milk is disgusting or setting a bad example either.

It is a way to feed a baby and by taking care of it properly. Babies do not have sexual desires nor think of it in terms of it being a bad act as it is just a way of making your baby healthy and stronger.

I just would like to say to those out there that breastfeeding is not bad to do nor is it bad not to choose to breastfeed. Do what you want to do and not what others want you to do.

Women were Disowned for Having Children Out of Wedlock

Many women during the 1950’s gave up their children for adoption and it was mostly because of babies being born out of wedlock. Within this time ladies who got pregnant out of wedlock were shamed and disowned by their friends and families. They were considered a disgrace to the family to have a child before marriage. During this era, it was widely judged. Which I can understand why they would be disowned because they could not wait until marriage but on the other hand it happens sometimes. Many women gave up their babies up for adoption had the right to refuse to disclose the identity of the father. Lots of the ladies did choose to tell people who the father was but it was more common that the women refused to tell. Social workers at the time respected these women’s decisions about this situation. I personally have mixed emotions about this topic. I do not think that people should be ashamed for having children out of wedlock but still should be widely influenced to hav

4 Scandalous Outfits in The 50’s!

This TikTok video shows four scandalous outfit styles women wore in during the 1950’s era. Jasmine Chiswell has put together great examples. It is interesting to know that during this time period women wearing tight short shorts was considered clothing that made people talk bad about. How it brought a bad reputation to some by just wearing these shorts. Today many people wear skintight shorts but that is the norm in society. During the 50’s women were to wear modest clothing and look like a presentable housewife. You were not to wear anything that counteracted this image. This representation could be good for some but bad for others if they did not wish to follow this norm. Coned shaped bras are quite strange I have to admit. They are pointy and do accentuate a women’s chest. I can understand where people were coming from when coned bras were labeled as a scandalous piece of clothing. They bring lots of amount of attention to a women’s chest area and could make some feel unco
