POLL: Public breastfeeding? I say no.

Let me ask you two questions:

1. How often do you actually encounter women who are breastfeeding in public?
2.Of those you do encounter how many just "whip out a tittie" for the world to see and go at it without a towel or other cover over the baby?

You sound like this traumatizes you. Get over it.

I'm pretty sure I was breastfed, but I don't know. I don't care. If my mom breastfed me in public, I don't think it was courteous of her to do that.

There are plenty of natural things people do that we don't allow in public. Stop it with this natural bullplop. Urinating and defacating are perfectly natural but you don't see people who "really need to go" just stopping in their tracks and relieving themselves.

Well, that creates a mess. So to prevent this, what if they carried around a bag or a bottle so that there was no mess?

And what is so horribly wrong about being bottlefed? Can you not milk the mother's milk into a bottle and then serve it up whenever the baby is hungry?

As to your point about the less considerate; education is the solution not legislation. Banning public breastfeeding is not the answer when some people abuse public spaces. Encouraging them to be more discreet, if it bothers you, would be more appropriate.

You pussyfooted around my original point though.

Where could you possibly be that would warrant you breastfeeding immediately before you could get to a more private location?

Resteraunts, retail stores and public parks all have bathrooms.

public bathrooms!? i don't want my kid eating in a place where people excrete waste!

Actually when I worked at sears, the women's bathrooms had a sort of a lobby with couches and stuff so that women could breastfeed in comfort and privacy, but some women would just goto the bed area and sit and do it. And many women were not discrete, the would as people said litterally just flop their boob out and sticj the kid on. I am not that bothered by it but some women though were discrete and would put a small blanket over their chest to cover themselves.

It's so weird that society accepts constant saturation through TV & movies & rap "music"

of killing, cheating, & other violence,

then objects to a mother nursing a baby,

the most natural, and sweetest, thing in the world.

I sympathize with young mothers breastfeeding infants

at a bus stop or in some park

while suffering stares from idiots who jump reflexively

to prurient thoughts at the sight, even at the mere thought, of a mother's loving breast.

Sweetest most natural thing in the world.

In finding any trace of an objection in that act, society is upside down, off track, wrong.

From TFD.com:

breast (brest)
n.
1.
a. Either of two milk-secreting, glandular organs on the chest of a woman; the human mammary gland.
b. A corresponding organ in other mammals.
c. A corresponding rudimentary gland in the male.

2.
a. The superior ventral surface of the human body, extending from the neck to the abdomen.
b. A corresponding part in other animals.

3. The part of a garment that covers the chest.

4. The seat of affection and emotion: "Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast" Shakespeare.

5. A source of nourishment.

6. Something likened to the human breast: the breast of a hill.

7. The face of a mine or tunnel.



Yes, men have breasts. This has in fact been known for a long long time.

thank you for having taken my post COMPLETELY out of context.

Things are pretty tacky out out there already, the last thing I want to see is you semi naked, since chances are you arent a "10" anyway. I mean why else are you trying to shock the public with your display of nudity under the guise of "feeding your baby" when all you really want to do is expose yourself in public.

Do that at home or in your car if you like, but not at Best Buy. We dont need to see pancake areolas.

The reason I bring this up is because a local woman in Dallas was asked to leave a store when she wanted to breast feed in a waiting area at a furniture store. The store owner told her no and asked her to leave. She called the cops and the cop said if it was his store, he would ask her to leave as well. She left mad and called a local TV station. :roll:

So what do you think?

i think you need to grow the fvck up.

agreed, boobs are fine and natural(and fun to squeeze )...any guy who objects to boobs in public are homosexaul's plain and simple

 

[Triforceofcourage]

I don't think its fair that a little kid can latch onto a booby in public but I can't.
Double standard anyone

I don't care where mothers breastfeed, it doesn't affect me.

However those of you who refuse to acknowledge the parallel between procreation and breastfeeding are simply feigning enlightment. If your argument is that something which is natural and necessary should be done in public, sex fits both of those criteria. Without it, there'd be no need for breastfeeding. Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that you've drawn the line for acceptable public behavior differently than someone else. So before you chastise someone else for where they draw their line, maybe you'd better think about where you've drawn yours.

don't compare sex to breastfeeding. that's really a reach. breastfeeding is nutrition for an infant.

Saw it once at a mall food court - the woman had a towel covering for the most part - that (and only that) is fine by me. I mean, imagine it was the role of a male to breastfeed... would you want to see a big hairy fat guy whip it out in the middle of the food court ? "It's the human body" my @$$. I don't want to see it.

Sexual act or not (it doesn't matter) .. breastfeeding in public is as REQUIRED as masturbation in public. Find a bathroom. People with crying babies get up to leave all the time... at least the respectable ones do.

Wow, thanks for making my point. Way to be closed minded.

 

[DeadByDawn]

If you don't feed the kid right then it will cry. What would you rather have. A booby you can ignore or a screaming kid you can't.

 

[Doboji]

OOOOOOOHHHHHH MMMMMYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOODDDD ITS A BOOOOOOOBIE!!!!!!

EWWWWWWWWW!

Oh for godsakes grow up people it's just a boobie, nearly half the people in the world have at least one.

The ignorance is strong with this thread.

1. Sometimes there isn't a convenient location to feed a baby that's hungry RIGHT NOW. Rather than let the baby scream endlessly, that person is actually doing everybody else in the vicinity a service.

2. Breastfeeding is about 10 times heathier for the baby than formula.

3. It's your right as a human being to nurse your child.

4. Anybody bystander that doesn't care for it can simply look in the other direction. They're not being forced to watch.

5. There are special blouses, shawls etc.. that can provide some privacy.

6. Whoever suggested doing it in a public bathroom is a RETARD for so many reasons.

7. Anybody who is offended by the site of a female breast has psychological issues stemming from poor upbringing or a traumatic event during childhood.

Oh, oh!
You just called Mosh closed minded.
That will start some shiat.

As for me, I was kidding before, but I think a lot of the folks here were serious.
I dont care if she's hot or not, she should be allowed to do it.
WITH the condition she have a towel or blankie on her baby, to acknowledge the more sensitive peoples feelings.

Noone is offended by the site of nips, as long as they are revealed discreetly with class and dignity, not at the checkout line at Lowes.

This whole thread reminds me of the time my wife and I were in a birthing class before our first child. The had brought in 3 moms who had just given birth within the last 3 months. Each of these moms was sitting in front of the class with their newborns sharing their experiences.

Mom #3 was just hot, no other way to put it. Just out of the blue, she decided it was time to feed the baby. He wasn't crying or nothin. She just whips out a boob and took her good old time getting him hooked up. No blanket to cover up, just up in the front of the class, lifts her shirt, unhooks her bra, and boo! there it is, and for some reason, none of the men in the class were paying attention to Mom #1 sharing her experiences anymore!

I have a pet peeve for idiots like this that attempt to be clever and insightful but fall quite short of both. It's even better when they imply that they have achieved "enlightment" [sic] more so than the rest of us mere mortals.

If you fail to understand the concept of controlling your bodily urges - i.e. having sex right here right now in a public places because, hey it's natural - then you have some serious issues to work through. I doubt most babies have that sort of control and as such do what comes quite natural to them: cry when they are hungry which can, and should, be alleviated by breast feeding.

It's really disturbing that you can not distinguish the differences between an adult controlling their urges and a baby.

I don't think "Americans" in general have an issue with breast feeding in public. just the geeky virgin males of ATOT do.

Heh, I think it's worse than that. Remember the parental magazine with a baby and a boob on the cover...... LOL, the drama.
