Well you can hardly chose when the baby is going to get hungry. It should be allowed to be done in public as long as it is done in a respectable way, which most women do. They shouldn't deliberately do it to get people to stare and then complain that they are.

it's quite inappropriate to whip out ones breast to feed a baby. most mothers pump it into a bottle so the baby can feed just fine.

i'm not against breast feeding, it's natural, but if the baby can only drink from your breast, i think the mother should stay at home until the baby can drink from a bottle.

i've personally seen this happen at a food court, and i wouldn't say it's disgusting, i just find it inappropriate in public.

I would never breastfeed. I just think it's weird. I mean, that doesn't mean I'll be like, "Stop it!" If I saw someone. I just, myself, won't do it. I don't like the idea of it. But, I'm only 14. My decision might change.

You wont breastfeed at all or just not in public? Confused

I dont really know what to think, I have never seen a women breastfeed in public. But I dont think its disgusting, its just a natural thing. And if you need to feed your baby, I think its your right to do it. Of course, you dont have to do it all the time, it may bother other people. And if in a restaurant, you can use the toilet.

no shit it's natural
you all come up with some of the dumbest stuff
the issue isn't "is breastfeeding natural" because that's too fucking easy to figure out and wouldn't be worthy of discussion

and I think it's innappropriate in some public places
if you go to the mall and your baby is still on breat milk, put it in a bottle
personally, I don't mind because breasts are only seen as sensual in seventeen countries and I'm just one of the people who doesn't believe it to be sexual or innappropriate...but many people do and you should keep that in mind

I would breastfeed in public.. just because I'd feel uncomfortable with doing that. But I would go to the baby's changerooms or the toilets and breastfeed there.

i dont think anyone should have a problem with mothers breastfeeding in public. i mean, if you personally dont want to do it thats fine but some people might want to. or need to. and there might not always be a change room to go to, like, i saw on the news smoe woman breastfed her baby on a bus and the busdriver threw her off the bus! thats just wrong.

The bus driver would also throw a man off if he was exposing his penis. There was most likely smaller children on the bus or someone was getting offended. Like, really. Did she have to do it right there? Where older men..and younger men could be basically watching a free, bad porno?

Yeah, who cares if its natural? Everytime I piss its natural, does that mean I can go piss on peoples tables when they are eating. Rolling Eyes No, it doesnt. Its indecent exposure, natural or not.

This is getting ridiculous. Given a choice, no woman would want to breast feed in public. But thing is, the child is hungry and there ain't a damn thing you can do but feed your cute little chubby baby and get on with your life. I mean, they make "mommy clothes" or whatever, don't they. Those big loose shirts so that mothers can feed. Babies need the proteins. Moms need to get rid of the milk (because if forms whether or not you want it to), so if the baby's hungry in public, wear a smock or a towel or a cotton poncho and feed the baby!

How hard is that? If you're in a restaurant, it's not like a mother's going to be announcing it or making a scene. It's nature. NATURE. If it makes fancy restaurant people so upset, they can make a Mother Section like a Smoking or Non Smoking section. It'd be kind of unusual, but still. There are so many ways for moms to breastfeed their children without flashing.

And the peeing bit? Grocery stores have bathrooms. Restaurants have bathrooms. Dinky travel agencies have bathrooms. Go to the nearest little shop and pee in their bathroom. Pissing in public doesn't help anyone but the dude who has to go.

Breastfeeding isn't unhygienic. It doesn't smell. It won't carry toxins into the air. And its not like people manage to pour their breastmilk all over the place or something. So stop comparing breastfeeding to urinating.

i was quite happy to breastfeed in public and in fact i did so many times, what is worse a crying screaming, unhappy child or a few people who dont care about anything but themselves, but yeah your right comaring breasfeeding to urinating in public is juvenile and wrong, mothers can even feed breastmilk from a bottle but in some cases babies cant drink from bottles and have to be fed naturaly.

and not all shops resturants, and bars have baby feeding facilitys, and anyway would all the people who dont like it want to go and eat they're dinner in a toilet?

Excuse me? I take offense to be calling juvenile, you can feel im wrong but that does not make my post juvenile. You guys were using the bullshit excuse that it's natural, regardless of if you enjoying being confronted or not, my post was also about something natural, was it not? Cheese Oh my god, check this out! It is! You mean my juvenile post made sense, thats crazy. But, like the other person said, their are alternatives to pissing all over the place, thanks for bringing that point up! Because guess what? There is alternatives to breastfeeding in public as well. You don't have to sit there and breatfeed a kid when people around you are trying to eat. You're all typing how it doesnt bother you, um, who cares? It DOES bother other people, and the world does not revolve around you. Did anyone grab the moms by their hair and force them into that public resturant? Don't think so.They came their by their own free will. If a resturant wants to consider that indecent exposure they can.

Why would that be considered indecent exposure? There's clothes for breastfeeding moms and also, most women use a shawl or something because unless I miss my guess, few mothers have a desire to flash the world while feeding their children. Really, the breast would be hidden from view. It can only be indecent exposure when she lifts up her shirt in order to feed the baby. And I suppose she should at least be asked to put on a shawl or towel of some sort or given a warning before being asked the leave the restaurant.

i wasnt calling you juvenile and i am sorry if you read it that way, perhaps i should've made myself clearer, sorry again.

but why should a mum hide away from public people because they are breastfeeding, like i said before yeah breastfeeding mums can go into a toilet and feed they're child but would anyone else want to eat they're lunch in a toilet? i knwo i wouldnt, so why should a baby do it, many people dont like to see people eating in public so why cant they eat at home?

I know I rather have the mother breastfeeding her kid than listening too it yelling... And why the hell should a breastfeeding mother stay at home?! Someone mentioned that as an option. Is not. A mother still has a life you know. If you don’t like it don’t watch. Is not unhygienic, like peeing in public would be, and it just doesn’t really affect you.

Sure it can be a bit repulsive. Like when I was a kid and at a public pool a woman just took of the top of her bathing suit and flashed her upper body. It was around the picnic tables. That made me a bit ill. So in that case she should have gone somewhere else but when it’s done discreetly, as I believe it often is, people just shouldn’t have a problem with it.

A more accurate comparison would be kissing. People kiss in public. Some are greatly annoyed by it even if it’s not over the top. I don’t like to watch people make out. It’s not my business anyway. So I look away, it’s not more difficult than that since it doesn’t really affect me at all.

(Not really aimed at anyone specific. No need to get upset or offended. It’s just arguments against arguments Very Happy)
