Facebook bans breast-feeding photos

Wait, it's not what you think. I am all for breast-feeding and I'm for the right to breast-feed in public. But somehow these women's definition of "discreet" clashes with Facebook's rule of "no areolas or nipples". To me, "discreet" means the baby is under a cloth or piece of clothing. I have no problem with some cleavage, but let's not even argue how much flesh: Why is it necessary to post photos of breast-feeding at all on Facebook? I can see how breast-feeding is necessary to do in public from time to time, even perhaps while revealing something from certain angles if people are all around, and so I accept it wholeheartedly as a means of feeding your baby, but a photo is different. Can you not put your baby down for a second to pose for a photo? And assuming you can't, can you not manage to avoid showing your nipple in the photo? I'm a bit confused why a woman would want a photo of herself breastfeeding on Facebook anyway. I'm afraid I'm with Facebook on this one based on the information here.
