should women breast feed in public or go some where private? (Page 18)

tularcitas: I'm a new mom and have been breastfeeding for a month...I haven't been in public yet but I don't think it will be a problem if I manage it discreetly.

carrie5574: Women should breastfeed whereever they want. It is called fe3ding their child. What is wrong with people that object?

bluedolphin696: When I was 18, I worked at a jewelry counter. A woman on the other side whipped out her entire breast and nursed. We were a foot apart. I really did not want to be included in this natural act. Going number two is a natural act as well. I would not do this in public either. If a man flopped his junk out to urinate, he would face a ticket or arrest. Why is one exposure so much more tolerated than the other?
I am not entirely against breast feeding. Use a towel or blanket and I will shut the toilet stall when I relieve myself.

Nicotina: Dear bluedolphin696,
if you do not understand the difference between a baby needing nourishment & an adult needing to to relieve themselves, please go into the stall, shut the door and stay there.
Thank you,
Humanity.

curl_jam: Babies are breast-fed in the first 6 months so they get immunity; I'm sure mothers do it discreetly when out in the public, however, at the same time there will always be roving eyes in the public that one can't avoid. If you come across a woman breast-feeding and under the scrutiny of the public eye, you can become a good samaritan and try helping her - a helping hand is thousand times better than a praying lip.

thinplaces3: there is nothing more beautiful and sacred than a mother feeding her baby. It definitely isn't sexual. I would rather see mothers breastfeeding their baby than putting a pacifier or bottle in their mouths. It is a choice of the mother but not for show. most mothers will not do that to draw attention but to the naturalness of nature

thinplaces3: thank you..people that do not have children have a difficult time understanding the bond between mother and child and father. It is the most beautiful miracle of life. Breast feeding is the connection that cannot be obtained any other way. As a father, I shared in this kind of miracle with my wife and 2 daughters and changed me too..I feel for any woman unable to breast feed and pity for any that forgoes it. They will never realize that closeness and love. Not criticizing those that do not, but feel pity!
