Posted: 7/16/2008 1:53:24 AM | | Totally agree with motley maiden get over it. Babies need feeding and unless ive got my whole chest resting on the dinner table i dont see what your issue is. Ive not met one mum who is happy to expose herself in order to feed. Breast feeding mums are discreet. | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 2:01:19 AM | exaclty, theres nothing being exposed. Unless mum is aso sat there changing a tampon at the same time, or sat there have a little scratch with her legs up open on a table. Honestly some people are just so ****ing stupid that they think nipples are being swung around in the air or something.
I must go and pack or Im not going anywhere today. | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 5:28:28 AM | Ive no problem with women having there baps out in public.
Only last week i spotted a women in the highstreet with her left one in full glorious exposure.
I pointed out to her my admiration for there perfect form only for her to scream out..
"Oh,chit,ive left my baby on the bus!" | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 9:17:50 AM | really glad ive found this thread, im currently breastfeeding my 6 week old,i will feed my daughter whenever and wherever needed, i was in morrisons cafe last week, discretely feeding her and an old guy was tutting and going red, it really bloody annoyed me, after all who should be embarassed, me or him! i find it amusing when strangers coo over your baby and it takes a moment or so for them to realise your feeding | |

Would you be offended by seeing someone breastfeed in a public place? Would you expect mothers to feed their babies in toilets instead? Has anyone ever been asked to stop or leave somewhere?
No I would not be offended in fact we should be more offended that too many new mothers are pouring artificial milk into their babies mouths.
I would not expect a mother to feed her child in the toilets anymore then I would expect to sit and eat in public toilets myself.
I wish I had been strong enough to have breast fed my son in public when he was a baby (feeding him now would be really strange as he's 18 now lol) instead of letting society dictate to me that I was being offensive to the public.
My advice to new mothers today is go for it, if your out and your baby needs feeding go for it. People would be quick to judge you if you let your baby starve. | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 12:17:17 PM | Would having it come out of your elbow be more acceptable?
Is it because it gives some repressed strangers sexual stimulation and so are scandalised by the idea of tit in public?
Oh Please 
Fast, convenient and safe.....and it's been working just fine for quite awhile now. | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 12:21:33 PM | if a woman was sat next to me in the most expensive restaurant or a mcDonalds with her top off...or discretely lifted....and she was breastfeeding i would not bat an eye.
the primary function of breasts is for feeding children.
That aside..so its some nekkid flesh! lol Deal with it..move on...lol
if we can have the sun with page 3 every where or we can relax with people topless on the beach i cannot understand why anyone would have an issue with a nursing mother!

you are entitled to your opinion..but its the most natural thing in the world..ergo you are offended by nature.
The place to feed your child is when and where ever they need it...

Posted: 7/16/2008 1:14:52 PM | Got to be acceptable. Pure natural. Anyone who complains should be embarrassed.
Don't see why ladies doing such should feel compromised by others negative attitudes.
Do feel uncomfortable though when the 'baby' in question is more of a child - say above 6ish but thats another argument. Had a woman in our village feeding till the kid was about 9 or 10 - that made me feel somewhat unconfortable - maybe as one was a boy.

Posted: 7/16/2008 1:51:06 PM | | i just dont understand why people are embarassed, are they the one exposing themselves....no! avert yer eyes! when i was feeding my daughter last week i was with my son who was eating his lunch and i would offend people far more by letting my baby scream(by god shes a set of lungs on her!) im sure id have been judged far more if i had left my 6 yr old on his own to feed my baby in the changing room/disabled bog....(eurgh gross!) | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 2:01:43 PM | | I've seen women breastfeeding in public many times and it doesn't bother me one bit. I have been tempted if they would let me dine too on occasion..... | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 4:19:18 AM | i fed both my kids and did that when they wanetd it but was discrete
though i did feed til early toddlerhood and i too fed in public places, even when they were little older i could still let them feed with no one really noticing
though had the same as a previous post in the park and my son on my boob with two by playing catch near me and getting closer, til they got an eye full when my boy unlatched and looked round at them
then went back to sucking away lol
but seriously should be more places for women to feed and society be more open

Posted: 7/25/2008 6:21:56 AM | msg 60 would you eat your food in the toilet?
I breastfed both my boys & did it discreetly, you would think to look at me that i was soothing them to sleep, and if i do have anymore children they too will be breastfed, its one of the most natural things you can do | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 6:33:24 AM | I breast fed my youngest son,you can do it descretly.
some visitors wouldnt come round because they felt uncomfortable with me feeding him.But if thats how they feel its up to them its only natural
i was out once with my dad,and the little one wanted feeding,we were in a church cafe,he said you cant feed him in here,feed him in the toilet.I said do you eat your dinner in the toilet then? i just sat and fed him with a blanket hiding him. | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 6:39:39 AM | I would rather see a woman with her baps out in public than be forced to listen to a baby screaming the place down because he/she is hungry.
One cannot really avert their ears. | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 6:56:48 AM | | I kind of agree with netgeek. When i was in hospital just after i had had my son I was put in a bed next to a lady who would keep her boobs out 24/7. Her curtains were always open and my ex as well as other men had to walk past her bed to get to their partners. She just sat there with or without her partner with her top undone and her boobs out. It use to annoy my ex so she cant have had anything good to look at lol. | |

Your logic is somewhat flawed.
Having a c0ck is also the most natural thing in the world.
But, how many people would take offence if I whipped it out on McDonalds whilst they were trying to enjoy their meals? | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 9:45:01 AM | Why would you want to whip it out in mcdonalds?
Who are you going to feed it to? | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 11:59:41 PM | restless native. think your arguement is flawed heavily
so you go to macdonalds then?
so you eat meat?
so natural for you to kill something to get that food?
dont dare kill anything in front of me then. | |
