Status: offline 		I think breastfeeding is a natural and beautiful thing. I don't mind if women do it in public. I also don't understand the need and demand to do it without any modesty at all. The reason I think that is common courtesy is that not everyone feels the same as I (or the breastfeeding mom) does.

For instance, I'm a librarian and lots of children's programs are conducted where I work. We have them for all ages from infants (lap-sit programs) through teen programs. We have one mother who absolutely insists on breastfeeding during the program. She displays many attention-seeking behaviors with this being one of the most blatant. Her baby will be sound asleep and she will wake him up just to feed him in front of the other mothers and young children. I see no point in that. If the baby was crying and demanding milk, then by all means feed him but just toss a shawl or baby blanket across the actual nipple. Again, it doesn't bother me but other mothers aren't necessarily comfortable with their children seeing this up close and personal. Yes, it's natural and when children are older it can be explained to them. But insisting on displaying this is just odd in my opinion. God forbid she feed the baby before the 30 minute program so that he can make it through it (or even sleep through it) without needing to eat again during it. But that wouldn't feed her exhibitionist tendencies enough, I guess.

Even though other parents have mentioned their discomfort with this, we cannot - by law - say anything to her. So, she comes in and feeds her baby in front of the crowd and they have no say unless they just don't want to attend. Yes, it's natural and necessary but so is urinating, defecating and fucking - but no one would stand for that in front of the kiddies. I just don't understand why asking someone to show an ounce of modesty or consideration for others is a crime...........luci

No adult would be expected to hide under a blanket or scoot off to a restroom to eat, (and the latter is extremely unsanitary), so why should a child be expected to? It's really about the CHILD'S RIGHTS, and anyone protesting public breastfeeding is actually posing a threat to the CHILD'S WELLBEING.

No matter where your views come from, if you are religious or an atheist...WHETHER BREASTS WERE DESIGNED BY GOD...BY MOTHER NATURE...BY EVOLUTION...THEY ARE FOR THE FEEDING OF OFFSPRING.

Those mammary glands didn't happen RANDOMLY...they have a PURPOSE. In cultures that live close to nature, you see children "plugged on" to their mother at random whenever they get hungry or need comforting...no one HIDES it, everyone in their culture KNOWS that breasts are for feeding children, and therefore it's never an issue. It's such a double standard that we think a cat feeding it's kittens or a horse feeding it's foal is "awwwww, so cute and adorable", yet some people don't feel the same when a human child experiences the same care from Mom.

I had a friend with twins, and she'd breastfeed when we were out dining at crowded restaurants because she is a mother and that's what mothers DO. There was no hiding, no apologies, she'd just matter-of-factly *unbutton blouse, apply hungry baby*, pick up her fork and go back to eating her own salad . People would come over to chat with her about her twins while she was feeding them, no one even paused to notice when she'd detach one baby and apply the other. This is the way life SHOULD be, but some people want to put negativity on everything, including the most precious of emotional bonds, that between a mother and child.

People who are against public breastfeeding should have a baby bottle shoved up their ass and be smothered under a blanket on a hot humid day. Good riddance.

Actually, this is the BEST way for other children to be introduced to it. Children who witness it at an early age won't think it's WEIRD later on. Those other parents should THANK her for showing their children what's NORMAL. But instead bottles have become "normal"...I am actually OFFENDED when I see so-called "mothers" feeding their children with bottles. Hell, half the time when I see it that type has a CIGARETTE in the other hand that's actually holding the baby, smoke swirling up from under the baby's butt as ashes flutter down. Disgusting! Yet rarely does anyone bother to say anything...no problem complaining to the breastfeeding mother though!

Whoa there. I was with you up until the bolded part. I was a "so called mother' that you might see feeding my baby with a bottle. You wouldn't have seen the hours I spent on a breast pump - when she was small I was up literally all night some days because I would feed her, pump milk, and she'd be up for a feed again. You wouldn't have seen the months of twice-weekly visits to breastfeeding groups and lactation consultants, the doctor's appointments for a baby who dropped from 85th percentile for weight down to 9th. I am VERY MUCH pro breastfeeding but you have no idea why those mothers are using a bottle. In my case my daughter would quite literally have starved without one.

The problem with both sides of this debate is that new mothers are told that they are somehow bad people if they don't do x, y, z for their child. Nobody parents in a vacuum. Every mother also has to think about her own health, her financial situation, work and childcare, other family members etc etc. It's time we stopped telling women 'you're a bad mother if you don't breastfeed' or 'I can't believe you think it's appropriate to feed your baby at the library' and started saying 'being a new parent is overwhelming, I can see how hard you are trying to do the right thing'.


Re the library issue: I actually like the idea of my kid seeing other parents breastfeed. There might be a good reason for feeding that child mid-session. Maybe she has a toddler who interrupts feeding and during this distracted time they get a calmer feed. Maybe she needs a strict schedule for that child and unfortunately that intersects with story time. Maybe she thinks a place surrounded by other parents and children will be a judgement free place to get used to feeding in public.

I have met people who attention seek about breastfeeding, but the ones I know don't tend to do it by actually feeding - they do it by telling you at length how wonderful they are for doing it and everyone else is wrong.

Those who worry about seeing the nipple - how often have you actually seen a nipple when a woman is feeding? It seems like she's covered by the baby's mouth in that area. I watched the advert and I was expecting much more flesh on show that there actually was, I've seen women wearing less without the baby. Also - why is a woman's useful nipple something to be hidden, but men can show their useless ones off?

The bit about bottles ...

I have 4 children. I did not feed one of them and she had bottles and you would have been offended by me.

I don't smoke I don't drink and my daughter had a bottle.

And if you'd have come along with your judgetpsnts giving yourself a wedgie i may well have burst into tears.

She had transienthypergammaglobulesnaemia of infancy. Yes, I can say that as well as spell it. I learnt pretty quickly.

She was also born with an inability to digest long chain proteins.

She had to be in a hydrolysed formula - do you even know what that is ?


Foosty vomit that is what it smelt like.

When she was 2 months she was re-admitted for the I don't know how manyth time with failure to thrive. She was tested for cystic fibrosis, she was tested for reducing solids in her poo and we got an answer as to why she screamed all the time, did 12-16 dirty nappies a day on average (yes, really) and around 57 farts an hour (again, on average)

She ended up on pepti jnr formula. Which is a semi elemental formula broken down prior to cnsumption. http://www.expresschemist.co.uk/cow-and-gate-pepti-junior-from-birth-450g.html

The formula is full of sugar, and rotted the baby teeth out of her head. I'm sure you,would have judged me for that too. 6 extractions aged 8.

But they told us when she went on it that was what she would suffer. Her adult teeth are fine, because her diet now is good and very healthy.

She grew out of it, that's why it's "transient" and "of infancy"

When she was 4 we were allowed to start re-introducing foods to her diet.

She is still intolerant to dairy, gluten, soy, eggs and celery. Just to throw a random one no one expects in there. Yes. Celery.

I have to good everything from scratch and there's lots of things she can't have. She's. it allergic in the sense that she doesn't need an epipen, but she cannot digest those foods and will be doubled up with stomach cramps and unable to function for days as the food works its way out of her system.



So, judgeyknickers, still want to sit there and tell me you're offended by the fact I gave her a bottle on medical advice ?? Go ahead.

Walk a mile in my shoes.

If I had not given her a bottle she would have quite literally starved to death.

You don't say? You? OFFENDED by something? Get outta town! You have the right to your angry, only-one-way opinion and everyone else has the right to his or hers. This is exactly the kind of angry, militaristic view the lady I mentioned has. She will do what she wants, when she wants and she dares anyone to disagree. Lawsuit!!!!! That is why she gets to act in her boorish, attention-seeking way and everyone else simply has to either endure her or deprive their children of our wonderful programs. Let it all hang out, lady. It's ALL about you!

You are offended by moms who bottle feed?


There are mothers who can NOT produce breast milk, from natural or health related issues. Because you are so offended, do you think that they should let the baby starve to death rather than offend you?

Think before you point a finger.

Status: offline 		I was a pediatric nurse for four years. I saw hundreds of mothers breast feed their infants. Of course, in that profession, that is the way we preferred the babies to be fed if possible due to the health benefits. We are fortunate we have the choice as women to do or not to do.
The way breastfeeding was performed in public actually told the story about who the other was as a person. You had the ladies come in who were very courteous to others sensibilities, and were classy and discrete about it. The public was not going to stop them from feeding their baby, but on the flip side they did try to make others feel as comfortable as possible. Then you had the woman who came in, who were totally classless about it like "FUCK YOU IM feeding my baby, I have a bad attitude and I don't care who I offend" Some of these women would actually just lift their shirts, maybe even dig in the diaper bag for a moment as their entire breast was exposed. Then you had the middle of the road women, who didn't make a huge deal of practice, but did not cover up considering the nervous guy or gal next to them in the waiting room, fidgeting in their seats reading magazines close to their face. LOL.
My husband's good friend came to visit us once, and I was visiting with his wife, who was very nice by the way. Their 3 yr old child came up, pulling on the collar of her shirt, yelling "I WANT MILK" I WANT MILK NOW" She just lifted her shirt as he stood on the floor and he grabbed her boob and stuck it in his mouth, and began breast feeding. I was in shock. In the profession, My 35 yr as a Doc, said if a mother is feeding her child past two, it is no longer for baby, it is for her.
All this breast feeding talk, reminds me of an experience I had in Jamaica, of how uptight americans are. I went to a nude beach, the Europeans walked topless or even naked without a care in the world as americans gauked in shock, with sunglasses on and a stick up their ass. LOL. The third day of the trip I decided to go back to that beach, I didn't get nude because I couldn't pull the stick up my ass out completely, but I went topless, and played soccer with an italian guys and gals, who some were naked. There was nothing sexual about it, just natural. No big deal to them, and in the end wasn't a big deal for me either. Quite freeing actually, there is nothing to be ashamed of being naked. But americans make it so taboo, it your naked it has to be about sex!
My opinion is, as long as you are considering where you are, and taking others into consideration, then breastfeeding is a GO! If they still don't like it TOUGH.

A friend posted this on FB, and I thought it might speak to folks here.

(Fair warning: I have not watched the video.)

From the poet Hollie McNish:

No matter how embarrassed I feel as she sips
Cos in this country of billboards covered in tits
I think we should try to get used to this."

I breastfed all 4 of my children for about a year each. I was working at the time for three of them. I went to the day care/sitter and fed them there on my lunch break. Day care had a bottle of MY milk in case the baby got hungry early. I also donated my breast milk to the neonatal nursery at the hospital. I did not have a pump - just hand expressed the milk into a small glass and froze the milk in a Playtex nurser bag.

I agree that the TOILET or RESTROOM is NOT a healthy place to eat for anyone!

Indeed not.

I believe that in Denmark the talk right now is to make rooms for breastfeeding in restaurants.
Apart from that, I think it should be law that you can breast feed anywhere in public places, the park, the library, wherever. If people do not like it, they can walk away. The rooms are meant for places where you cannot walk away.

Status: offline 		This is the first baby that I have breastfed in public. Perhaps it is I am old enough to not care if someone is offended or I know a lot more moms who breastfeed and I see it more as I am just feeding my baby instead of something I have to hide. With my other daughter we tend to go out to places that are kid friendly anyways so no worries about anyone getting upset. My mom took us out to Texas Roadhouse on Saturday and she got sleepy and hungry so she wailed. It was so loud in there though that it almost drowned out her crying until my mom took her. Grandma got her all happy and she went to sleep. :)

The weirdest thing to ever happen was when I had to drive to Springfield for both a check on my c section incision and her two week check so I took my other daughter to the Mc Donalds playland in between appointments. Some guy sat on the other side of the glass and it just felt weird. The entire restaurant was empty and he chooses this dinky table right next to the playland window to sit. I gave my friend a look and she shrugged. I forgot about him until she told me to move, she caught him using his phone to video me while she was nursing. I had a blanket over her so nothing was showing but still that was creepy. My husband said I should have gone to the counter and reported him but I was just relieved my friend chased him off.
