Swehl, the start-up behind the ad, shared a post by Baz in which she expresses her extreme disappointment but adds she is “not at all surprised that our cheeky little breastfeeding empowerment campaign was deemed ‘inappropriate’ by Clear Channel Outdoor”.

Somehow, that’s offensive, but showing less dressed women for the sake of selling clothes is just fine?” Advertisements for women’s health have proven controversial with ads for period products not being allowed to feature red liquid until 2017.Birth and Breastfeeding Photos Removed, Restored on Facebook and Instagram
