Breastfeeding Experiment 

B1 – Intermediate

Breastfeeding is a natural and essential way for mothers to nourish their newborns. Mothers produce a special kind of milk that provides all the necessary nutrients for a baby’s growth and development. It also promotes a strong bond between the mother and the baby, creating a sense of closeness and security.

In this lesson, a social experiment was conducted, where people tested how others react to breastfeeding in public.
