Why do some people OBJECT to a woman breast feeding her baby in public? WHY?
Is breast feeding in public so wrong...i think NOT.

it has nothing to do with being prudish.... believe me... I am the farthest thing from being a prude. I personally would have no problem having sex in the open... lol. there is nothing wrong with pumping and taking milk in a bottle with you if you know you are going to be out in public. to me it is more about common courtesy to others. I don't have sex in public because it would make others uncomfortable... and I was taught not to purposely do something that could make others feel uncomforta  more...

Quoting: Originally posted by bluegirl2006 I can't believe you just said it is disrespectful to feed your child from you breast as God intended. Discretion is one thing - but having to put it in a bottle is another.

You have your opinion... and I have mine.

Quoting: Originally posted by kewanna2007 I personally don't like to watch a woman flop "it" out to feed her child in public. I think it is disrespectful to those around. You can pump the milk and put it in a bottle.

That quite surprised me for one who professes to be so liberal and open minded on other blogs.

Seems quite a prudish view to me .... still I guess you can take the advice you regularly dish out to others, ie, if it offends you, don't look.

Personally I think it's quite a natural thing for a mother to do - why the heck would anyone want express milk and carry it around when mother nature provides it in the perfect storage and serving vessel?

When I've been in the company of friends who have needed to feed their babies they tend to wear something that can be opened discretely so all you really see is the babies head. Lets face it, they don't want people gawping at them, but they do need a contented, fed baby.

Personally I'd rather be in the presence of a mother breast feeding than a screaming baby who's hungry with no way of feeding them.

I don't know how it is elsewhere, but too often in the UK the only places provided to feed/change a baby is in a public/store toilet - no wonder women choose to feed them elsewhere! less...

I dont' think there is anything wrong with it at all as long as there is some discretion....like True said...with a blanket.

It nevers bother me when I come across it.

Nothing at all wrong with it. But, just as there is for every other thing in the world, there is a discreet way to do it and a not so discreet. That's exactly what blankets and "burpee's" are for.--True
